Power Steering Failed problem #1

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Infiniti Q50. The contact stated that the power steering failed twice. The vehicle was taken to ray catena Infiniti of edison (900 us-1, edison, NJ 08817, (732) 603-9600) where it was determined that the vehicle was still under warranty. The vehicle was repaired, but the contact felt uneasy about driving the vehicle. She spoke with her state's attorney general's office before calling NHTSA. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 10,276.

Steering problem #2

When starting up from being parked the wheels steer the car to the right while I have to pull the steering wheel to the left to keep the car driving straight. The moment I remove the pressure from pulling the wheel left the car takes an immediate right turn. This is not a front end alignment issue as the problem will correct itself. It has taken as short as a couple of miles or as long as a few short trips for it to correct itself. It has happened first thing in the morning, in the afternoon and evening. This safety issue started when the outside temperature was still warm. When the steering does correct itself I can feel the steering wheel being pulled to the right and then the car drives straight again without me applying pulling pressure one way or the other.
