Okay, my car listed above is eating the inner wall of my front to tires and my steering wheel instead of holding straight like it would usually be it's turn to the right side while I'm driving straight.

More then likely with this being such a new vehicle with pretty high mileage you most likely hit a couple pot holes and it has knocked the alignment out.

I would suggest rotating the tires and having an alignment performed.

If you see the attachment below you will see that inner tire wear is most likely caused by a toe out situation which is normally caused by a shock to the system which would be a pot hole or something like this.

Let us know what questions you have or what they find with they check the alignment. Thanks
