GT Steering Angle Sensor Issue

My 2018 Ford GT, gasoline engine, 86553 km. Steering requires increased effort, feels like power steering is failing. Steering wheel vibrates. Likely cause faulty steering angle sensor coding? Traction control light is on. Suspect wheel alignment or a steering sensor problem.

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?

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!
