I have had this issue for a while, the character will move left without touching the controller. I have purchased 4 different make and model of Xbox controllers over the last 4 months. The fault resolves for a week or so with each new controller then returns. I have tried the controllers on different games GTA FIFA etc & no issue, this only affects 7DTD. This seems to be more of an issue when mining, not really an issue when on a bike or any vehicle.
