When I’m driving above 45 mph the car pulls to the right. When I
correct a little bit it feels like I’ve over-corrected and the car
pulls the other way. I have new, aligned tires. The mechanic
checked the tie rods and breaks. Nothing helped and it feels very
unsafe.

Take your car to another garage and ask for laser alignment.

I had the same problem with a Honda and a new set of tires.
It was a bad tire. Rotate the tires and see if the problem goes away or
changes direction (a bad tire in the back will not pull).
The alignment checked out just fine in my case too.

Regards,
Stan
