car tends to go left

I don't really remember when I first started having this issue but my car can't go straight when it supposed to be. When I hold the steering wheel straight, the car tends to go left, so I always have to pull to the right little bit to make it go straight. I took it to the dealer three times because of this, and they can never fix it right. They said they did tire rotation and four wheel alignment everytime and said it's fine. They also said it's because of the road condition but I think that's bs cuz it happens everywhere. I'm selling my car in december, so should I just leave it like this or take it back to dealer?

If it was my car I would make Honda fix it. It has been a issue for a few members in the past and there is a service bulletin on this. If i remember correctly, one of the tie rods needs to be readjusted. A majority of the techs and customers think it's an alignment problem but it isn't. There is actually a "weight" tool for the steering wheel that they are supposed to attach when checking it. It seems that if a tire rotation or replacing tires doesnt suffice then the tie rod may need to be realigned.

The bulletin number is 06-068

Anyones car have a slight pull to the left?
