Default steering wheel turns on its own

when turning to the left, as the steering wheel gets close to lock, it will turn on its own, is there a reason for this and can something be fixed to remedy this?

i haven't had an alignment since i got the car. i know the alignment is a bit off, so you think this could fix the ghost steering?
