2006 BUICK LUCERNE Complaints

MY VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR LAST SUMMER. BEFORE I BOUGHT IT THE DEALERSHIP PUT NEW TIRES AND ALIGNED THE VEHICLE. IT STILL SLIGHTLY PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND HAS WORSENED SINCE. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER 3 TIMES SINCE TO CHECK FOR RECALLS OR GET THEIR OPINION ABOUT IF THE ALIGNMENT SHOULD BE CHECKED AGAIN. I AM AFRAID IT IS CAUSING UNEVEN WEAR ON MY NEW TIRES AND IT IS QUITE IRRITATING. *TR
