Pulls left/right

Picked up a new (2017)Mac S last week. On the way home and currently it abruptly pulls right or left while driving at speed. Does that suddenly. It is not a suspension issue. Feels like something in the drivetrain. Anyone else. Any suggestions. TIA for any help. Frank

This is how you are going to get those free matts. Bring it in all kidding a side. It shouldn't be doing that...

It's going back to be checked and fixed. We'll go one step at a time.
Matts.... Heck I'm going for the fence. Extended warranty, wheel/tire insurance, and a service plan. I'm easy. It appears to be a safety issue that has to be fixed. Let's see how good Porsche is. The service advisor was a good listener. I hope this works out quickly.

In for service. It went the way I expected. I explained the best I can in simply terms.....tell the service advisor the pulling is when the LKA is off and driving at speed. It's intermittent but realistic. A problem does exist. The call I get later in the day. We can't find a problem. LKA is suppose to re-steer and correct the lane drift. When he finished his bit I (repeat) tell him that that the LKA was not active and had nothing to do with the problem. I can see the circle coming so I say to simply document my complaint and we'll go from there. Also the passenger vented seat is not working well on the seat section. Tells me it's working ...I tell him the drivers seat is substantially better...the passenger seat is not up to standard. Says they they'll check it again. I felt like asking to Define check it again.
I can use some reasonable suggestions on the pulling. Do I contact corporate? When I get service survey I will write the problem has been acknowledged but not addressed.
Loaner is a Panamera4. It drives like a tug boat in the wind. It is anything but sporty, not fun to drive and not exciting. Next time it's a Mac or Cay.

Most dealers give the panamera 4 as a loner, you're stuck with that LOL. You shouldn't contact corporate unless its something the dealer is doing wrong. If the dealer can't get it to repeat the problem then there is nothing that they can really do. Some times they will want to keep it for an extend period of time, if they can not get it to repeat that day.

If you take it in again and this time they can not fix it, then it is time to contact corporate.

I'm going to sit tight. Good to have it back. Drive a Panamera and get back to the Mac....wow what a difference. The Pana did nothing for me. Would not want one. I'd buy an A8 (or (A6) over that.

I love the Pannamera, just the look of it is insane. A8 can't compare, even if the the A8 is faster, you'll never have that Pannamera name. I saw an S8 the other day swerving in and out of lanes and I gotta say that's one sexy car though.

S8....oh baby. Can you say RS8?
Ok so you like the Panemera. How cool would that look with small slanty wheels and a wing.

A subwoofer, wolf whistle and ground effects. In the 50's dual rear antennas were big. Also chrome skirts. We could call this project Pimp your Pan
