2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 4dr SUV

turbocharged 264hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD

9000 mi Vehicle "wanders" from left to right at highway speeds. Dealer aligned front end. Did not correct problem. 
12000 mi Had dealer recheck front end alignment to correct loose steering/vehicle wandering. Dealer reports no trouble found. 
13000 mi Third time to dealer with same steering problem. This time dealer did alignment (2nd time) and "reset" the driver selectable steering function. I guess three's a charm as vehicle no longer "wanders' left and right at highway speeds.
