2k2 Pulling to the left - a glitch?

I was just over at the dealership to get my first oil change! (gawk! stupid me! i'm already at 3850k when i did this....)

Anyway, i overheard - get this - 3 other 2k2 Max owners bringing their car in for pretty much the same problem. That is, the car pulling to the left while cruising.

I, personally have mine pulling to the right. So which is the supposed normal FWD pull effect?

Do you think this is a glitch in Nissan's manufacturing process? Misalignment? Too much power?

Thoughts?

It should not pull to any direction when you are cruising. That sounds like an alignment problem. Torque steer is when you are accelerating hard and then you feel the car steering to a given direction. That is a normal symptom of having a good amount of power on a FWD car.
