Seat Alhambra Heavy Steering Issue

My 2015 Seat Alhambra with a gasoline engine has heavy steering and occasional steering wheel vibration. Feels like power steering failure. Could it be a sensor issue, like the steering column angle sensor?

A 2015 Seat Alhambra experienced heavy steering and occasional steering wheel vibration, suspected to be a power steering failure. The issue was linked to the steering column angle sensor, affecting the electronic stability program. Recalibrating the sensor and performing a wheel alignment resolved the problem.

That sounds familiar. My Alhambra had similar heavy steering and vibrations, especially at low speeds. The electronic stability light came on sometimes. Did you notice any dashboard lights?

The electronic stability light flickered a couple of times. What was the problem?

Sounds like the same issue. It was the steering angle sensor. The coding was messed up, affecting the electronic stability program. They recalibrated the sensor and did a wheel alignment. Have the sensor checked at a workshop quickly, as it impacts safety.

The workshop confirmed faulty steering angle sensor coding. Recoding and wheel alignment fixed it. Cost 195€.
