Consumer Description

AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER, MY STEERING FELT OFF IN DECEMBER. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND THERE WAS A NAIL IN MY TIRE. SUBARU REPAIRED THE TIRED. UPON LEAVING SUBARU, STEERING CONTINUED TO FEEL OFF . PULLING TO ONE SIDE CONSTANTLY. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO SUBARU AGAIN FOR A WHEEL ALIGNMENT ON JANUARY 23RD. THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND FIXED IT. THE CAR DROVE GREAT FOR 2 WEEKS AND AGAIN IT IS OFF. CAR IS EXTREMELY HARD TO KEEP IN THE LANE; IF IT IS WINDY IT IS EVEN WORSE. NO MATTER IF I AM GOING UNDER 30 OR ON THE HIGHWAY. THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT ALIGN WITH THE WHEELS AGAIN. I HAVE DRIVEN THE SAME ROUTE TO WORK EACH DAY M-F FOR 5 YEARS. THERE ARE NO POT HOLES. IT IS A SHORT COMMUTE HOWEVER I AM STARTING TO FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING. DO I TAKE IN THE CAR AGAIN? I LOVE THE CAR BUT EITHER THE TIRE IS BAD OR THE ALIGNMENT/STEERING IS BAD.
