Anyone else run into this one? The car will hold a mild left hand turn indefinitely. I discovered this issue on a 200 mile trip home from PA when I was getting tired from the constant effort required to keep the car in the lane.
At first I thought I needed an alignment, until I started trying to troubleshoot. What I found was that the car will track perfectly straight, but if I turn slightly left, it will continue to turn slightly left. Enough so that I can easily turn the wheel into a left hand sweeping turn, let go, and the car will just stay on the road following the turn without issue. What's weird is that it is ONLY left hand turns that work like this. It's perfectly fine turning right, and always returns to center..taking me out of the corner.
I've played with this a bit, and while it's really easy to reproduce this at speed (say, 40-45+), it doesn't want to do it while driving around a parking lot.
The car only has 4500 miles on it, and it's all stock minus the catback, so I'll take it into the dealership eventually, but I would prefer to know a little bit more about the problem before I do.
