STEERING

 This is more of a concern and a inquiry. i recently purchased a 2010 lexus ls460 awd. i have notice that when making u-turns or sharp turns, the steering wheel fails to return to center by itself, and when i turn it back my self the wheel is no longer aligned with the car. i.e the normal posiition of the steering to go straight, is off about 90 degrees. this tend to cause over and understeer, and can be pretty scary when in traffic.

 The breaks fail on a lexus 2010 hybird 250 when you go over a bump or railroad tracks at 40 miles per hour. they just release and you have to take your foot off the breaks and put it back on. i reported it to the dealer twice and the last time was told that it is a characteristic of the hybird car.
