I've had a number of posts on this issue over the last few months. I thought my problem was solved after the last trip to the dealer last month. Here's the brief scenario:

First/Second visit - Replace defective tire, replace bent right rear control arm, rebalance all (4) wheels, and realign
Third visit - Realign car and recenter steering wheel
Fourth visit - Dealer indicated a TL that pulls is a normal occurance at highway speeds (I did not accept that answer and complained to Acura Customer Service)
Fifth visit - Loosen and reset entire suspension front and rear, including front subframe. This was a five day repair.

Car was perfect after that. Now about 500 miles later its pulling to the right again. Any ideas on why the car would not hold the ability to drive straight at highway speeds?? Also, the steering wheel will actually turn itself very slightly to the right if you hit some bumps in the road at highway speeds if you don't have a grip on the wheel.

This was a brand new 06 TL non Navi with Automatic that now has 2,900 miles on it. This is the most baffleing issue why this car will not keep the ability to drive straight at highway speeds. I will not accept that this is normal for TLs. I'm not talking torque steer at acceleration. This is a pretty good pull to the right at highway speeds. Give me some thoughts please.

I've had this problem and tried to ignore it. Its not so bad after i got a new suspension but was a problem with my stock susp. Other ppl have had their entire suspsension reset and that seemed to do the trick. If i were yah i'd just spend the $800 on a new suspension but thats just me

If you swap the two front tires does it change the direction of the pull?

I think I have the same problem as you, and it shows up as bad tires. Therefore acura says: not the car, it's the tires! This has happened on the stock tires and brand new Pilot Sport A/S independenly of each other. I'm --><--- this close to selling the car it's pissing me off so much.



The problem shows up after about 1000 miles driven on the tires and will show up if you transfer the tires to another car after that. My car eats tires!

I HATEd stock acura tires. Don't think it would qualify for any lemon laws as huberc stated "not the car, its the tires"

I also hate the stock tires, but the problem showed up with them as well as Pilot Sport A/S tires purchased from tire rack I think I may contact an attorney
