Steering wheel off center
Anyone else's GL have this issue. The car tracks straight but it's off a few degrees to the left when cruising down the highway.
It bothers me and i'd like to know if anyone has had this fixed? It's been this way from day 1.

Presumably the car is still under warranty so take it to the dealer and tell 'em to fix it. Assuming nothing is broken or bent, which it seems it isn't given that the car tracks straight, it should be just a matter holding the steering wheel on center and re-aligning the wheels. No big deal. It's pretty shocking that it got by the factory and the dealer before the car was delivered to you.

With electro-mechnical steering - what you are experiencing is the effect of "road crown" or simply put the left-right inclination of the raod surface.
To put your mind at ease - visit your dealer to check/reset steering angle sensors if Star diagnoses a probem
