Russell, Your dealer is very confused. Some front-wheel-drive cars experience something called "torque steer", a tendency to turn toward one side when accelerating hard. But if it pulls when coasting or braking on a level surface, there's something else going on (usually alignment). The "level surface" part is important, if the road slopes toward the right or left, that will cause the car to pull. But if it pulls on a level surface, it needs to be checked-out and repaired by someone competent!
