Since new, I've felt my Ascent has a slight pull to the left. Obviously there are certain factors which can contribute to this like cross wind and the crown of the road itself. I drive primarily longer distances on the highway and during those drives I feel like I constantly correcting to the right regardless of which lane I'm in or which direction the wind is blowing.
To be clear, it's not to the point where it will dart to the left if I release the wheel but it will definitely begin to wander that way within a few seconds. When I'm in the right lane, where one would expect to correct slightly to the left, the Ascent tracks straight.
Tire pressures are spot on and I've had the dealer do both a road-force balance and alignment (both of which were off) but the problem persists. I'm a bigger person and thought maybe my mass on one side of the vehicle adding to the problem but there's no change when I have my wife and kid along and sitting on the passenger side.
Despite the balance and alignment, I also get a slight vibration at 75 mph. It can be felt primarily in the steering wheel and produces low hum. I'm at the point now where I'm wondering if I have a bad tire. Tomorrow I plan to do a rotation to see if it changes anything.
Anyone else experience this?
