Dear optima owners
Does anyone have left pulling issue with your optima platinum? I have bought 2012 model optima platinum in January 2013. I felt the pulling issue as I was driving it home from dealership. I thought It would be a wheel alignment problem so I waited untill 3000km service. When It was due, I had the 3000km service and what I heard from service department was that there was no problem with my car. What they said was It is because of road crowning or the optima has very sensitivy handling. It pulls to the left slightly, It is not that bad but still bothers me when I drive, especially on the highway. It is quite fine to stand with that at low speed around 60km but when I go drive at between 80km and 100km, It pulls to the left more faster at high speed than at low speed. I think there is something wrong with the steering wheel or alignment or camber. The steering wheel is not centred and pulled to the left slightly at all times. I feel I put more strengh on the steering wheel when I do turn right than left. I have been researching on the pulling issue and seen that some optimas do have the pulling issue, some don't. Is that correct? I think It is a known problem? I am wondering if there is anyone who has the same or similar issue with me? are your cars fine at all?
I was going to get wheel alignment service again at 15000km service (the car is now around 10000km) but cannot wait to get it done on 15000km so I contacted my local service department to check it. I am going to see them this week and get some checks done. I hope It is only wheel alightment problem so they can fix it..if not I will be frustrated.
