Why Does My Car Pull to the Left When Driving?

I have a brand-new Honda Civic that I love, but whenever I’m on the highway, I can feel the car pulling to the left. It’s subtle, but I have to keep correcting it. Why is my car pulling to the left when driving?

Congratulations on the new ride! It’s no fun feeling like there’s something wrong with your new car, so I get the frustration. Your car pulls to the left when driving for a variety of reasons, but the most common is the wheel alignment is off.
Other causes of your car pulling to the left include:
  • Uneven tire pressure
  • Bad or broken wheel bearing
  • Worn-out suspension or steering parts
  • Brake issues
It’s best to take your Civic to an experienced mechanic to confirm the cause of your car pulling to the left. If it is the alignment, it shouldn’t take too long to repair. Wheel alignment typically takes an hour to complete and is at most $100.
