Alignment issue
Just got a 2018 v6 1le a few months ago, have about 4k miles on it. I was having an issue with alignment,(car goes right when steering wheel at center) so i took it to firestone and had it fixed. Everything was good for about a week or so and then I noticed again that when the wheel is center, the car pulls to the right. When I had the alignment done i made sure they also aligned the steering wheel. So I'm wondering why its out of alignment again..anyone else have this issue? I posted this in the 1le section, just thought id also try in here.

Check tire pressure. Did you get report after alignment ?
I never had any luck w chain shops, rarely ever do good job.

Alignment looks pretty good unless something was left loose or bonked huge pothole.

I see your caster angle is a little too positive. Not necessarily a bad thing. And would not be causing your issue since the cross caster is perfect. Is your car lowered? --KLG--

Road crown/tramming ? Some roads or all roads? When it's pulling left, go into a different lane /on coming lane (empty road of course!) and see if it pulls the other way. Does it pull more/less under braking? What tires /wheels? A pothole hit can damage a tire/wheel/hub and result in wonky steering without presenting any other symptoms for a while.

Thanks for the replies, car is not lowered, everything is stock. The car drives straight, but the wheel just angled left. Any idea how to program/reset the steering position? Thanks

Okay so i have the same issue but, there is somethin else, when im cruzing at freeway miles if i go traight and lets say im going at 70 or 65 it really doesnt matter, well if i step the the pedal the car just go to the left side and when i let go the pedal go back to the right side, also i notice, since its raining i had two problems where i cant go more than 60 mph because the car just slips to the right side always to the right side i have nittos 555g2 in the rear im not sure if its just the tires, also even if im doing a burnout the car always wants to go to right side, this is getting on my nerves, enyone experiencing this?????, one day i went to the dealer and they said they cant do anything about alingment because its not under warranty, so i took the car to goodyears store and did the alignmet but after that it was all the same

But in general, when driving on a crowned two-way road, you will always be steering to the left a bit. You should head out on the highway and find a stretch where the passing lane is obviously sloped to the left. In that case, you should be steering a bit to the right. |

You access through the OBD2 port. So, you need an alignment machine or a fairly sophisticated diagnostic scan tool. Firestone or your Chevy dealer should be able to take care of it after you explain the issue. Although unlikely, it could be an issue with the SAS or the EAPS, but since you don't have any warning lights displayed, that is unlikely. Good luck with it.
