Most likely the alignment is off , I had the same issues,

Take it to a an alignment shop and they can fix it, if you just got it aligned take it back to them and tell em to fix it. The place I used to go to gave me back a couple vehicles with the steering wheel crooked, drove me nuts, I do not go there anymore.

Alignment

Same thing: straight highway, tracked perfectly not holding wheel...but it was cocked 1/2" to the right. Needed adjustment to the LF Camber and RF Toe. Fine now.
My '95 Olds Cutlass Supreme convertible: let go of the wheel in the right lane and you'd end up on the shoulder! Alignment and tie-rod ends. Fine now.

This happened to my parents CTS.. Mom did a number on the allignment and the only fix the dealer had after fixing was to remove the wheel and straigten it...

More than likely it is either your inner or outer tie rod out if it is pulling like that. ususlly the opposite sid eof the direction the vehicle is pulling. My Yukon was pulling to the right steering wheel to the left to keep it straight passenger side inner tie rod was shot. These things are easy do it yourselfers to replace and can be had hella cheap off ebay.

IE 32.50 for both sides inner and outer replaced at the same time. I like to go ahead and add new parts if one sides out the other is going to go sooner or later. In my case it was fairly soon as the grease fitting were already leaking on the driver side outer.

I may be a newbie here but I have way to much auto experience. IE ASE mechanic that specialized in suspensions. The only thing you need to swap these out is a jack, a good socket set, and a big pipe wrench maybe an hour of your time. Be warned it will drive like hell to the alignment shop. I actually recommned to do it close to the shop IE I drove around back of the NTB I went to and swapped out the parts myself.

I'm glad I saw this thread cause I have the same problem with my Tahoe with 112k on the suspension.
