Description of the problem	This car pulls to the right and nearly changed lanes and almost hit another car during a split second of looking at the gas gauge and not down the road. I took the car into mzb with the complaint. They said it was my driving habit. Later they said it was the curve of the road. Still later they said it was the tires not inflated. As i continued to ask for help on this issue and several times bringing it back to the dealer they finally said that a mzb rep will go with me on a test ride. During the test ride i stated that at any moment you ask i will let go of the steering wheel and the car will turn to the right. After several of these demonstrations to him he then held the wheel himself and felt the pull. He agreed with me that there was a problem. Upon returning to the dealership they met in a meeting without me and began to do this and that with the car on the rack. I asked what are you doing? They told me minor adjustments. Later the car was released to me and in fact the problem was better however not corrected. This car has a terrible problem and does not run down the road straight since i bought it new. I drive it now the way it is because i am tired of mzb and their tactics. The car was returned to mzb 12 times in the first year of ownership for repairs. Please help if possible.
