Allion steering issues

Hi, I have a 2014 Toyota Allion with a gasoline engine and 190323 km on it. I'm experiencing increased steering effort, feels like the power steering is failing intermittently. Also, the steering wheel vibrates sometimes. I suspect the steering angle sensor. Any ideas?

Hey, I drive an Allion too, and I had similar issues not too long ago. The vibrating steering wheel and the heavy steering are a pain, right? Did it happen suddenly, or did you notice it gradually getting worse? Have you checked the electronic stability control? That could be related.

It seemed to happen pretty suddenly. I haven't checked the electronic stability control specifically. What was the eventual cause in your case? Was it definitely the steering angle sensor?

Yep, pretty sure it was the steering angle sensor. I tried a few basic things myself, but in the end, I had to take it to a workshop. They mentioned something about the coding being faulty. Honestly, best to get it checked professionally; messing with the steering column can be risky.

Thanks for the info. Took it to a workshop and you were right, the steering angle sensor's coding was faulty. They replaced the sensor and did a wheel alignment. Cost me 195€. Problem solved.
