Megane Heavy Steering Vibration

I've got a 2022 Renault Megane hybrid with almost 220k km on the clock. Recently, the steering has become a real pain. It feels like I'm wrestling with it, needing way more effort, almost as if the power steering is giving up. Also, the steering wheel vibrates like crazy sometimes. I did some research, and it sounds like it might be the steering angle sensor messing things up, maybe with faulty coding. Has anyone had anything similar?

Summary of the thread

A 2022 Renault Megane hybrid with high mileage experienced heavy steering and significant vibration, suggesting a potential power steering issue. The problem was suspected to be related to the steering angle sensor, possibly due to faulty coding. After visiting a workshop, the steering angle sensor was confirmed as the cause and was replaced, resolving the issue.

Sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my old Opel Corsa. Steering became really heavy all of a sudden. Was scary. Did you check the wheel alignment?

Wheel alignment, huh? I haven't checked that specifically. Would that really cause the power steering to feel like it's failing and the wheel to vibrate, though? Or is it more like a possible side effect?

In my case with the Corsa, the heavy steering feel was because of the sensor. The wheel alignment might be affected too if the sensor isn't reading properly. I would suggest visiting a workshop to get the error codes read. It is better to have someone look at it.

Thanks for the tip! Took it to the shop, and you were spot on - it was the steering angle sensor coding. They replaced the sensor, and everything's back to normal now. Cost me 195€. Appreciate the advice!
