[Oasis RS]

I am in the midst of trying to purchase a RS model from the dealer. On the test drive I noticed it pulled to the right whenever I would let go of the wheel. They said they'd do an alignment before we picked it up. We test drove again before signing papers and same issue. Service manager got involved and came out and said they would have to contact GM and see if anyone else has reported this issue. They are flying a tech in this week to look at it.

Anyone else had this problem? Even if they get it fixed (they said maybe something within the steering column) should I buy this particular car (we haven't signed yet) or wait for another one to come in?

There's one with the same color I want at a dealership 600 miles away that has the technology package so it would cost about 1700.00 extra.

Any thoughts?

Thank You

No problem with the alignment on ours.
I would not have bought one without the technology package. I love everything included in that package.
Maybe you can get a better deal on the other one. You never know if you don't try.

Hi, got my RS home today... Handled well with no side pulling.... Going thru the manual now...

I backed out of that one and am waiting for the dealership to either find my color with a technology package or order one.

Good for you. Strange that it pulls to one side, unless it has a bad tire. It sucks to wait, but in the end you will be happier.

Congrats on getting your new Trailblazer DPJake! How are you enjoying it so far?

That's good you're able to find a different one. Which color are you looking for?

They could not figure it out and last I heard, they were having a tech from GM come in to look at it.

Oasis Blue, I love the color.

Oasis Blue, I love the color.

Great color choice. Have they had any luck finding a new one? Or do you have to order one?

I was about to purchase an RS but like the original poster, this one also pulled to the right. From what I have been able to find online and talking to some GM people, it is rare but there seems to be a good handful coming off the line misaligned. Because the steering column and wheels are all one unit, they cannot center the steering wheel even with the front end in perfect alignment. I am going to swap out for a different one.
