Hyundai i30 N Performance (2024) pulls to the right under heavy braking

Hey guys,

first post here, so go easy on me 😄

I’m having a pretty frustrating issue with my 2024 Hyundai i30 N and I’m hoping someone here might have an idea.


Problem description

Under hard braking(without triggering abs) (especially at higher speeds,(100kmh+)), the car pulls noticeably to the right.

  • Under light braking / low speed, the car remains perfectly straight
  • The issue only occurs under higher braking load
  • The behavior is consistent (always pulls to the right)

What has already been checked / replaced

Braking system

  • Brake discs and pads replaced multiple times (3 different combinations tested)
  • Issue remains unchanged → always pulls to the right
  • Brake calipers checked → moving freely
  • Brake system bled 3 times using a diagnostic tool → no air in the system

Vacuum / brake booster

  • Previously had an issue with a hard brake pedal
  • Important: even before that was fixed, the car already pulled to the right under heavier braking
  • Check valve replaced → that issue is resolved
  • Current problem still present → likely unrelated

Suspension / tires

  • Winter tires + 3 different summer tire sets tested → no difference
  • Wheel alignment checked and adjusted → no change
  • Control arm bushings inspected → OK
  • Car is nearly new → wear-related issues very unlikely

Vehicle history

  • Delivered to dealership: 05/2024
  • Purchased by me: 06/2025 with only 7 km on the clock
👉 The car basically sat at the dealership for about a year without being driven.


My suspicion

I suspect the issue might be related to the car sitting unused for a long time, but I’m not sure if that could realistically cause something like this.


Current situation

We’ve been trying to fix this issue for several months now:

  • Hyundai warranty support hasn’t been helpful
  • My dealership currently has no clear idea what the cause could be

Question

Has anyone experienced something similar or has an idea what could cause:

👉 a consistent pull to one side under heavy braking,
despite multiple brake components already being replaced?


I’d really appreciate any input or ideas before going deeper (and more expensive) into things like the ABS unit.

Thanks in advance!
