| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Vehicle does not track straight. Pulls to the left or right at any speed. Particularly after making a left or right turn, either as a lane change or a proper turn. Took it to the dealership after the second week of ownership and had them test the car. They informed me that nothing was wrong, and maybe the issue was torque steer. I told them that i know about torque steer and that it was not the issue. They said everything looked good after their tech and service manager took it out for a test drive. I will be going in tomorrow for a second look at the vehicle because it seems to be getting progressively worse. |
