The car drifts at speeds over 40 mph and at 55 mph on highway require constant correction due to steering drifting. Dealership says that's the electronic steering. And that I will get used to it. The cars acts as if it has worn steering components. At higher speed the steering is sloppy, the car wanders from side to side.
