I've noticed that my Versa S model is pulling to one side when I get up around 65 mph. It only has 875 miles, but I noticed shortly after I got it. Does this have to do with the aerodynamics of the design or is it something else? Also can I have any dealer look at it? I bought the car from a dealer far away and there are other dealers nearby. I have been hoping it was something that would stop ... by it hasn't. When it is windy I have to really hold on to keep the steering in line.

You can take it to any Nissan dealer. The warranty is included in the purchase price...use it every chance you get. The alignment is only warranteed for 12 months or 12000 miles so dont wait forever. The only time you should run into a problem by taking your car to another dealer besides the one you bought the car from is they are not as likely to give up their loaner cars until you establish yourself as a loyal customer. At least thats the routine at my dealership.

It could even have to do with air pressure. If you have one underinflated tire, your car would tend to drag to the side of the underinflated tire.

If one tire was underinflated, wouldn't they get the TPMS light?

That's true, but with all of the malfunctioning TPMS systems, who knows if it would detect it.

But if your light is one, you should check your tire pressure for peace of mind.
