Hi All,
2015 P85D
Driving at around 70mph on the motorway yesterday and instant massive vibration felt through steering wheel, managed to pull over and even when stopped the vibration was still present. It would stop when I left the drivers seat and returned as soon as I pressed the brake pedal.
I removed the steering motor from the rack and can see it going crazy with small back and forth motions which is causing the vibrations, the assisted steering is still working although feels very unsettling and I really can't drive the car safely.
After investigation online, I found the Range Rover Evoque uses the exact same system, which I also happen to own. I have found a few forum posts about the Evoque having the same issue and this turned out to be the Lane departure warning firing constantly which vibrates the steering wheel to warn you, the threads seem to end with a full rack replacement due to warranty.
I'm wondering if anyone has seen this before, I'm trying to work out if I should try to find a replacement angle sensor first or replace the motor, then the whole rack if I have to. IMO, the motor control module (which is part of the motor) is faulty and enabling the lane departure vibration all the time hopefully it's not the car telling it to enable it.
I didn't have Lane departure enabled anyway in settings.
Tesla SC is not an option unfortunately.
Thanks,
