G37 veering left

Hey all,

So I recently got a brand new 2013 g37x sedan and I have begun to notice that when the steering wheel is completely straight, the car begins veering left. It's not extreme, but it's enough that I have to consciously keep turning the wheel slightly to the right to keep it going straight. It's also more pronounced at higher speeds (60mph and up) I also do not think it is due to the curvature of the streets since I have tested it on multiple roads and ended up with the same result. Any assistance on this issue is greatly appreciated!

What has your dealer said about this?

Unlike kia and hyundais, G's and infiniti vehicles in general do track straight. The former have some goofy front end design/electric power steering nonsense that results in veering/drifting and other tracking issues. What happens on the interstate in the far right lane?

My guess one of below is likely true.

1) alignment needed
2) front end damage (steering components)
3) tire conicity

Money's on #1.

Thanks for the replys . I had the car leased and I have not yet contacted my local service center since I figured I would inquire elsewhere before running over to spend time servicing the car as it is still very new.

i guess the root of the my dilemma is as follows...

is it possible that a g37 would need an alignment right out of the lot?

I would check the tire pressure first.
If still veering after proper tire pressure, get an alignment.

Entirely possible. Check tire pressure. Then alignment.

My bad, i didn't even consider tire pressure as I assumed everyone is as **** about it as I am If the pressure is uneven L/R, it would pull to the side with the lower pressure.
