Whenever I turn the wheel completely to the right or the left, the wheel does not return, the car will just keep going in a circle. But if I turn around a corner, without turning the wheel completely, it will return fine. What could be causing this problem? Thanks.

If you have an aftermarket steering wheel, the bolt holding it the steering column could be to tight...happened to me

Doesn't sound like you have a problem to me, but I guess I'd really have to feel it for myself to make a good judgement.

If your used to driving front wheel drive vehicles, which tend to snap back to center agressively, you just might not be comfortable with the rear wheel drive steering yet. RWD cars often need a little coaxing back to center.

Bgjohnson is correct too. How your alignment is set up can greatly affect the feel of your steering.
