Sonic pulling to the right under heavy acceleration.

[Sonic2486]

I have owned a 2013, 2019, and now a 2020 sonic. With the 2019, and the 2020, under heavy acceleration, or full acceleration, if you take your hands off of the wheel, or just hold them on their loosely, the car drifts to the right. So much so, that I can actually change lanes, using just the accelerator. I have tried this on all grades, and slopes of roads. The result is the same.Has anyone else experienced this issue? I'm aware of torque steer, but I haven't heard any issues of torque steer with the sonic. And if I recall, my 2013 did not have this issue. All three models, have been the1.4 liter turbo. Is anyone willing to test this out on their turbo? And report back.

Probably just torque steer.

BUT, you might want to have the balance on your front wheels checked. I threw a weight off in snowstorms twice on two different Sonics and it pulled pretty hard rather than vibrating.

I thought it was the alignment, but when they noticed the missing weight, it was solved.
