C250 pulls to the right
I bought my car with 15 miles and since then I noticed it pulls to the right. It's a pretty good amount. Today at 270 miles I brought it in to the dealership and they checked it. The rear was off but they said they adjusted it. The rear shouldn't have this much of an impact anyways.
The service advisor mentioned that there's been a few other c250's with this problem (after the whole 'road being rounded' was made moot by explaining to her I've owned several new cars and never had it this bad). I wanted to see if anyone else has been experiencing this.
Thanks-

If it is a domed road, both my Mercedes pull to the right slightly. On a flat road, they are pretty much perfect.
Some American cars are supposedly setup for the domed roads and drive straight on domed roads, or so I've heard dealers tell those complaining.
I always check this on test drives to see if it is a normal amount or not. It will pull slightly right, but whether or not yours is too much, I can't know.
Would the dealer let you drive a loaner C Class to test it on the exact same roads or something?

When I purchased my car I noticed the tires were scrubbing out
Took it to a tire shop and they discovered the wheel alignment was horrendously wrong after a wheel alignment my fuel mileage improved significantly
Suggest you do the same and get the tires and wheel alignment checked
