GT Steering Angle Sensor Issue
Summary of the thread
A 2018 Ford GT experienced increased steering effort, vibration, and a traction control light, suggesting a power steering issue. The likely cause was suspected to be a faulty steering angle sensor or wheel alignment problem. It was confirmed that the steering angle sensor coding was off, affecting traction control and alignment readings. Repairing the sensor coding resolved the issue.

No recent alignment. What was your problem specifically? And how did you solve the problem?

It was the steering angle sensor. The coding was off, messed with the traction control and alignment readings. Best to get it checked; faulty readings can throw everything off. Imagine a compass pointing north when it's actually east!

I had similar issues with my GT – felt like wrestling an alligator! The vibrating steering wheel and traction control light are dead giveaways. Did it happen after an alignment?
