Default Car veering to the right

My mazda 6 has 6000 miles on it. Since I bought it, it has veered to the right. I could be cruising along the interstate and let go of the steering wheel and I would end up in a ditch or perhaps someones backyard. I have taken it in twice. They have looked at wheel alignment, camber, tire psi, caster and even did a tire rotation. What could the problem be? Could it be the engine mounts are loose or something? My car is running so perfect other then that. I will be so happy when I get this issue fixed!

Have you tried going to the flattest emptiest parking lot you can find and just seeing if the car will track straight there? If you only notice the pull on the highway or on city roads, you might be experiencing "road pull" where the condition of the road will pull you to the left or right severly due to the poor condition of the road.

When you are in the right lane of the highway does the car pull to the right, but if you are in the left lane does it tend to pull to the left? Try to find a big empty flat piece of land or parking lot where you can just let go of the steering wheel and drive the car at various speeds. If it it always pulling to the right with that small test as well then take it back and have them try it in a parking lot.

yeah, it pulls even on a smooth straight road. God forbid I hit a bump and dont hold onto the steering wheel. The car will spin out.
