Steered off-course

Good morning,

I have a 2011 Kia Forte SX, 2.4L engine, not that it really matters, I think. My problem is when I bought the vehicle the steering wheel was off-centered, I figured that all it needed was a wheel alignment. Well, a few alignments later, the steering wheel is still off-center. Is there something else that can be done to correct this, or if I were to leave it, could it cause damage to anything else? Thanks for your help.

Didn't they give you any reason why steering wheel isn't straight after the alignment? Just bring it back there as obviously alignment isn't correct as steering wheel isn't straight. They should either get it aligned or find a problem.
