Traction Control - Pull to right
Anyone elses Rondo pull to the right when accelerating from a stop with the traction control/ESC is ON? I find I slide towards the curb on the right side. If I turn the traction control/ESC OFF it doesn't do this and I accelerate straight in most instances.
The only thing I experience close to this is when I take off up a hill, I get a slight pull to the right as I accelerate which feels like torque steer to me. I have not tried with the ESC off but it should be the same regardless. Do you notice a difference on an incline or is it the same no matter what?

what kind of road conditions when this happened?

Is it just under acceleration? Mine does it all the time.
It should not do that as that could cause an accident. I would be talking to a dealer soon.

It is on icy conditions when the traction control kicks on. It feels like torque steer (but isn't since I am accelerating slow). It is a gental tug to the right, but enough I have to correct for it. I was just wondering if it was a limitation of the traction control or maybe it isn't functioning correctly.

Viking79, next time you are on the highway, on dry roads, check to see if your Rondo pulls to the right when you let go of the steering wheel. I have been having this problem with mine from Day 1. Would appreciate your feedback.

I don't notice any pulling on the highway, but be aware if you are driving in windy conditions or the road angles to the right you could feel a pulling to the right. If it still pulls to the right on a flat/smooth road and no wind, I would check to make sure all tire pressures are equal and if it still does it, have the alignment checked/adjusted at a shop. They should do this under warranty, especially if you are in the 1 year/12,000 miles (or is it longer than that?) adjustment period.
