I reported a noise and the fact that the car wants to veer to the left as I was "test" driving this car. I said something to the salesman at the time. He told me to keep driving it to see if it continues. I went back to the dealer 3 days after I took the car home and complained about the noise the steering would make as I would pull in or out of a parking space. He then told me it was normal. Mr.
