Steering angle is affected, yes. If it's the same issue, what was the resolution? Was it definitely the lateral sensor? I'm trying to understand the scale of the problem before I take it to the workshop.

Affirmative. The symptoms you described are consistent with a defective lateral acceleration sensor. Given the complexity and potential safety implications for vehicle stability, I would strongly recommend a qualified workshop assesses the control unit. Best not to attempt DIY repairs.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I appreciate the advice. Took it to the workshop and you were spot on. The lateral acceleration sensor needed replacing. Final bill came to around 1000€.

I have a similar NX. Those symptoms sound familiar. Was the steering angle also affected? It could be related to vehicle stability or yaw rate, and a faulty lateral sensor is the prime suspect.
