Unhappy pulling left

Well I have same issue with my new S.E 2.0 pulling left. I bought it two weeks ago and it's been in my hands one day. It pulls to the left once you hit 40 mph. The pull is very noticable and it can be dangerous if your not aware. They have rotated the tires and did a realignment. This week there going to replace the entire steering column and sensor. I've had two different rental cars a GLS and now a limited sonata and the steering has been fine in them. The dealer has been very good and very helpful. They have gone out of their way to try and make this process a painless as possible. The dealer told me a recall is coming but Hyundia isn't sure how to fix the issue yet. I even did a ride along with a quality assurance rep from Hyundia in my car. He agreed there was a pulling left issue with my car. He also mentioned they just didn't have enough information. That was one of the reasons they were checking out my car. I just want my car back and working right.

Well they couldn't fix. But
Now I have to think on my own
And I have this result from my driving experienc
1- if the alignment in the front wheels is wrong
It will be like this :
The car will pull but it will be as you turn the steering
And if you break hard with your hands off the steering
The steering wheel will move toward the error
And the same will happens if you push the gas heavily
From stop

But that's not the Sonata symptoms
It is moves diagonally from lane to lane

If you remember it is the way of the Honda prelude
With 4 wheel steering Old model-

That's means one thing

All the problem in the rear wheels not in the front
But most of the mechanics put there thinking in the front and the
Steering wheel which will not solve the problem at all

So I did this :
I chicked the alignment of the rear wheels carefully
And I was right there is an error and this error will give
Different results according to the wheel sizes

And then repeat the front alignment

And the most important part after this
Is reset the electric steering to the center

Now I have a normal car no pulling from abnormal factory
I hope
This will help
