    Hi, I have the same problem. The steering wheel should be slightly to the left to make the car go straight.

    There is little, only a few degrees, so do not know if it is normal or a problem.

    I checked the tire pressure and correct.

    I took mine to the dealer and they straightened it out for me no charge. Its easily adjusted. It just seems they're coming out of the factory like that.

    Its a pain on the motorway when you're doing speed its just not normal to gave to turn your wheel a bit to go straight.

    Thanks for the update. It's really odd that it would have left the factory that way... they must have checks in place, you'd think.

    Hopefully the dealer has some way to pass feedback up the line.

    Mine was always slightly to the left as well, but I took it in to have the alignment fixed for camber issues. They didn't fix the camber, but they did adjust the toe and straightened the wheel.

    Earlier I took a '14 ES w/ the C.V.T. for a test drive and that had the wandering ( not tight ) in the steering . Especially cornering . They really need to address this . Bet it makes many walk away .

    Mine also came with a misaligned steering wheel. If one turn is 60 minutes, mine is off by about three.

    However, the wheel alignment is 100% accurate, so its really just a "cosmetical" thing.
    Not nice, but not really important.

    Sounds like a bigger problem... Mine's tight.
