Has anyone ever had their hs250h slightly pull to the right only sometimes? Then at other times the alignment seems to be perfect. Then at some other times, it pulls slightly to the left -- this is all on even roads and highways. What will cause something like this? I want to get an alignment but after taking a left or right turn, sometimes it just corrects itself! Never had a car do this before.. 😕

 

Checked tire pressure? Are they all close to the numbers on the door frame panel? Tires get low pressure in the cold and maybe you just need to bring them up. I usually go a few pounds over in the winter to compensate for colder weather variations.
Does it do this at all speeds? How many miles?

Often the road crown will cause these symptoms.
You need the suspension and steering inspected by a good indpendent shop, hopefully one that specializes in Japanese cars. Many components can wear out and cause these symptoms and we are just guessing over the internet. Don't just get an alignment, it has to be checked out first.

 

Thank you for all the
suggested recommendations; I shall have my mechanic look for worn suspension parts, then incorporate an alignment into it

 

Those are all valid checks, but I will say I also feel like this car sometimes tries to pull the steering one way or the other. I think it is related to the electric steering force feedback design.
My car has the lane keeping assistant and I never get this weird sensation when LKA is active.

This subtle "what is it doing now?" sensation also happens when descending an incline and giving light braking pressure - the car occasionally doesn't respond with the braking force I was expecting, and I have to press harder to get the result I want.

 

... ever hit a bumpy part of the road, while trying to apply the brakes in your hs250h?! You could *seriously* rear end someone.... ever leave a car wash when your brakes are wet? Huge loss in brake power till it dries.... these moments make me wish I was back in my trusty and predictable toyota yaris 🤣 😂 😹 --- 😥

 

Yes, I notice this too, but every time it coincides with the yellow VSC (or slip) indicator illuminating. So, I roll with the punches there! And I make a point to avoid braking on speed bumps, etc.

I have never noticed this in the HS!
