Mercedes GLC steering issue

My Mercedes GLC hybrid from is showing increased steering effort and vibration. The diagnostic check points to a defective steering angle sensor, possibly faulty sensor coding. Has anyone else run into similar electronic stability program issues? The power steering seems intermittent. Could a wheel alignment make this worse?

I have a GLC and had similar symptoms. The power steering felt off, and the steering wheel vibrated sometimes. Did the issue start after any specific event?

The symptoms appeared gradually. No recent tire changes or wheel work. Can you tell me more about how your issue was resolved? Was sensor replacement necessary?

The dealer confirmed it was the steering angle sensor. I'd suggest getting it checked at a workshop. They can fix the coding or replace the sensor if needed.

Confirmed faulty steering angle sensor coding. Sensor replacement wasn't needed; recalibration fixed it. Total cost: 195€ Thank you for the input.
