Possible steering issue with my 2009 toyota camry. Car drifts to the left even after dealership has aligned the front end. First alignment was needed right after i took possession of my new car march-april 2009, and 2nd time in the summer of 2009. The vehicle shouldn't need constant alignments, not sure what the problem is, should be investigated. *tr
