Steering of IS250C

Just purchased a 2015 IS 250C. I notice the steering wheel does not come back on it's own when I turn it over 90% and let go of the wheel. In fact, the steering wheel will continue to increase to 100% when my hands are removed. The Lexus dealer told me this is a characteristic of IS250 cars. Is this true?

Never noticed that sort of behavior in mine, but mine is a 2IS whereas yours is a 3IS. Maybe ask in that forum.

The 2015 IS250C is based on the 2IS platform. That said, I don't experience what you experience. Is there a strong force pushing the steering in the same direction? Otherwise I don't think steering is supposed to "correct" back on its own to the center...that's why we have a driver to steer
