wheel slightly not aligned
I have 2023 X7 40i M-sports, which is my wife's primary. I did not have much time to drive this, but today I realized that the wheel is not slightly aligned when I drive straightforward.
Can the dealer service re-align it? If so, is it also under warranty? Not serious but somewhat bothersome. I attached the picture of the wheel position when it drives straightforward. |

The steering wheel has an alignment mark (see photo) to ensure the steering wheel is straight when it gets attached/bolted to the steering shaft so it is impossible for the steering wheel to itself to have come out of alignment unless it got loose or something which I highly doubt. The issue is likely with your front tires/suspensions. I would have the dealer check it out.

I was so busy that I could not find some time to visit the dealership, but finally found some time last Friday.
I made an appointment and here how it went. 1. steering wheel mis-aligned It is my wife's primary car, so I have not driven this X7 that much. But it was not when I drove it to Houston last time. Then I recalled that there was a sevice last Feb for oil change as well as tire alignment. So I told them it happened after that alignment, though not sure it was related. So their remedy is to do another alignment and adjust the steering wheel to center. Warranty applied. 2. side mirror on passenger side does not unfold automatically time to time. I took a picture and video to show them when it happened. They inspected it and decided to replaced its motor. Also Warranty applied. 3. IB recall They said that it is not ready. All covered, no cost. Just I needed a loaner car couple of days because they had to order the motor part. Now I have X7 in good shape. My wife is happy too. |
