I first noticed this recently. When I make a hard left or right turn, my steering wheel is off-center. It does correct itself in a short time, but I am concerned about driving safety. I'm not sure when I first noticed this problem. I think since the last service. I bring my car in for regular service and any recalls. I make all recommended repairs.
