Default Alignment needed. Only 200 miles.

Less than a week of ownership and 200miles.

While driving on the highway for the first time, I noticed my steering wheel alignment is a bit off. While the steering wheel is exactly straight, the car goes to the right... Stopped by the local dealer for a wash and mentioned the alignment, SA said they would take care of it as it should of have been checked during delivery. Also said he would do a thorough inspection to make sure its not the tires or anything else.

Kind of pissed since even the tire pressure was low.. So I'm thinking what did they actually check during delivery?!

Anybody have to visit the service department under a week of ownership?

Cars will follow crowns in the road which tend to take you to the right in the US (drainage). Low pressure in a tire can also contribute to pulling. Could also be a defective tire. If it is off though it could be from shipping. Lexus encourages people to bring in their cars after 1000 miles to have any concerns like these addressed and to check up on any features people have questions about. They'll take care of you.

Lexus offers a free alignment as well if your under 10k miles, you just need to ask for it.
