Any noises? I had an old Merc with a bad steering rack but it physically fought back to the middle whenever I tried turning to the left. Could be something as simple as bad ball joints, or even low PS fluid.

With front wheels off the ground when you turn the wheel full right and let go it goes all the way back to the left on its own.....with engine running

Not gonna lie, didn't even notice that it said hybrid (it's bad, I know). Still wouldn't hurt to check basis suspension components.
