The 2022 Mazda CX-3 range of configurations is currently priced from $17,999.
Our most recent review of the 2022 Mazda CX-3 resulted in a score of 7 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Helen Frost had this to say at the time: I’m giving the car 3.5/5 because it’s a good buy and it delivers where it needs to, but it loses family points for its tiny boot and the very tight squeeze in the back, particularly if you need to fit a car seat.

This sounds like a potentially very dangerous fault. Any car that wanders across the road or doesn’t go where the driver points it is an accident waiting to happen. A serious one, at that. At this point, the first piece of advice is to not drive the vehicle any farther and have it towed to a workshop for it to be inspected.
There’s one other possibility here. And that is that what you’re feeling is the car’s lane-keeping assistance program. This can often feel as though the steering it trying to plot its own course (which it is, in a way) in order to keep you centred in your lane. It only works up to a point, beyond which driver input will overcome it. I wonder if that’s what you mean by 'unsticking' the steering.
However, as far as I can tell, this model Mazda didn’t some with lane-keeping assistance (it has lane-departure warning only) so I think you’re back to square one and a tow-truck. Either way, this should be a warranty issue if there’s anything seriously wrong, so don’t be afraid to try a different dealership.
