| Description of the problem | After purchasing my vehicle in november, my steering felt off in december. A couple weeks later my tire pressure light came on. I took my car in for service and there was a nail in my tire. Subaru repaired the tired. Upon leaving subaru, steering continued to feel off . Pulling to one side constantly. I took the car in to subaru again for a wheel alignment on january 23rd. They confirmed it was out of alignment and fixed it. The car drove great for 2 weeks and again it is off. Car is extremely hard to keep in the lane; if it is windy it is even worse. No matter if i am going under 30 or on the highway. The steering wheel does not align with the wheels again. I have driven the same route to work each day m-f for 5 years. There are no pot holes. It is a short commute however i am starting to feel unsafe driving. Do i take in the car again? I love the car but either the tire is bad or the alignment/steering is bad. |
