Have you had it aligned??

I have seen vehicles from the factory that needed an alignment. Follow these steps to do a quick check of the alignment:
1) mark the tires (front and rear of wheel) with chalk at a set distance off the ground and at a specific point on the sidewall (i.e. a lip or something)
2) measure the distance between the two front marks on the tires
3) measure the distance between the two rear marks on the tires

These two distance (or "toe") should be almost the same....if the marks on the front of the tires are a little less (~1/8" or less) then you should be fine. This is called "toe in" as if your tires are pigeon toed as if seen looking from the back of the tire. If the distances are greatly off, then you should get the front end aligned.

Hope this helps.
