Default Steering wheel question

I picked up my 2015 Sport Tech yesterday and the steering wheel is slightly left. I'm very picky and it bothers me but I can get over it. Is this common for this car before having it aligned? Don't get me wrong, it's barely turned left (and I mean barely) but the car rides fine and doesn't pull. I'm just curious.

Check your tire pressures and see if they are out of spec. If its still crooked take it back to the dealership and have them check it out.

I checked the tire pressure today and it was good. I have to go back to dealer next week so I'll have them look at it. I don't think most people would really even notice it, I'm just a little OCD. Actually I'm alot OCD

If its not pulling then its an adjustment to set the steering wheel straight.

"I don't think most people would really even notice it, I'm just a little OCD. Actually I'm alot OCD". This is what I actually said. I can post pics but I'd have to be driving it down the freeway. It's very minor and the dealer said they would take care of it. Does it bother me? Yes. Is it a deal breaker? No, not at all.

What's your problem? This is the second reply to one of my post with a smarta** reply. I can see why your post count is so high. I can only assume you use summers eve for an air freshner in your 09.

This happened to my Lexus. The alignment was fine, but the steering wheel was a bit off center when it was aligned from the factory.

Just take it back and tell them it is 'off center' as early as possible so they don't blame you for hitting a pothole or something.

Lexus is very customer oriented and they fixed it without any hassle. Hope Nissan would do the same.

Keep in mind that the slope of the road will do this. Most roads slope to the right which would cause you to correct the wheel slightly to the left. Try driving on a highway where the left lane slopes to the left and see if the steering wheel corrects to the right the same amount. The best would be a completely level road but I dont think you will find it.
