It's fine though. I drove it for 3 hours back home the following day and have gone several thousand miles since with no problems. Though I did get an alignment done recently. My tC had pulled to the right since I first got it.

you too? mines doing the same... what scares me is the one guy on this site who had his right tire pop off or whatever and crash him into a parked car...

i hope this isnt a consistant issue

I just got home from a night AutoX in Baton Rouge (it ended at 3:00 am). On the way back to New Orleans (70 miles / about 1 hour), I noticed that it definitely still pulls to the right, and I just had the alignment done on May 7. I did rotate all my tires (F-R / L-R) before leaving BR. So I'm not sure if that affected it, but I don't think it should have. I have to go in to my dealership soon anyway to order a new radio (mine won't eject CD's most of the time), so I'm going to talk to them about the alignment issue.

I appreciate the offer, but I'm just going to let the warranty cover it.
