Steering problem with a new car
I have a new Nissan Micra Acenta. I have only been driving it for three days. Yesterday I noticed that when I was driving on a very narrow windy country road. I braked when turning and the car veered to the other side of the road. I have had a Hyundi previously and have not noticed this before. I have had an older model of the Nissan Micra previously and have not noticed that the steering is different.

Get it back to the dealer. The alignment may be out or the steering angle sensor may be out.
