Me thinks that this is not a vehicle problem . Operator malfunction comes to mind. ---

Are you saying you have trouble judging whether the vehicle is aligned with the curb/lines/driveway? It may just be the geometry of the car. I generally end up with my Corolla a bit crooked. It’s not a big deal IMHO unless it’s excessive, like having one end of the car _really_ far from the curb. ---

> [@stangee](#): > > can’t park kia forte 2017 straight Are you sure? 🤨 I had that same problem until I realized that I _was_ parking straight, but all the parking spaces were crooked! I complain, but nobody does anything about it. The idiots just look at me like I’m nuts. 🤪 _ **CSA** _ 🌲🕶🌲 ---

@stangee Stan , how about returning to explain why and what made you post this parking problem. ---

You should probably return the car to the dealer. They’re supposed to park straight. ---
