Qashqai Power Steering Fault

I'm having an issue with the power steering on my 2022 Nissan Qashqai Hybrid (237124 km). The steering wheel vibrates/shakes, handling feels spongy, there's an error stored, and it requires more effort to steer. Could a defective cable or plug be the problem? Has anyone else experienced this?

A 2022 Nissan Qashqai Hybrid experienced power steering issues, including a vibrating steering wheel, spongy handling, and increased steering effort, with an error stored in the system. Possible causes discussed included a defective cable or plug, wheel alignment issues, low hydraulic fluid, or a failing steering pump. The problem was ultimately diagnosed as a defective cable connection, which was repaired at a workshop.

I own a Qashqai and have had similar issues: vibrating steering, spongy handling, and the error message. Have you checked your wheel alignment? It could also be low hydraulic fluid or a failing steering pump. A defective cable or plug is plausible.

Did your Qashqai exhibit all those symptoms simultaneously? Did the error memory store a corresponding error code? I'm trying to see if our experiences match.

Yes, all those symptoms occurred at the same time. The error memory definitely stored a steering system error code. I'd recommend a workshop visit. They can check the steering system, steering rack, and related components to diagnose it properly.

Thanks for the help. Based on your input, I took it to a workshop. It was a defective cable connection, and the repair cost 95€.
