I have exactly the same issue in my P460E AB - at around 70 it is quite difficult to make any small adjustments. I had a similar situation on my first D5 (2017), but my second D5 (2020) was perfect. The LR mechanics did the tracking 4 times over 1 year, but never cured it. |

I have been chatting to a guy on a Facebook group with the same issues, and his was only sorted after the steering rack was changed. If they cant sort mine theres no way I can keep it. |

I leave mine in Auto with the lane assist off. If you turn L/A on the steering is very heavy, but with it off mine’s firm but fine - D300 April ‘24 reg |

I have everything off on mine, but still the steering is very stiff to move the small amounts needed to follow motorway curves. I also find there is no self centering action, so if you move the steering to the right or left, thats where it will stays untill you move it back to the centre. Very dangerous I think. never known any other car behave that way, and I've owned many. |

It certainly is a fault, but not easy to convince the dealership guys it is. They even tried to pam me off to landerover assist today when I range them. Thats only the AA for breakdowns which I declined to do as once there the problem would be between be and the AA. |

Went to the dealer today and it will be looked at next Tuesday (I already had a booking for the `Towing Eye'). Apparently there is a recall with some steering racks on the Evoque models but don't know if my issue is the same. |

The steering issue on the Evoque was the failure of the 3 bolts holding the rack motor on. After fleecing owners for new racks, JLR eventually accepted it was a design fault, and as it was a safety issue reluctantly replaced the bolts (and rack if the bolt failure was catastrophic).

As my car is brand new and exhibited this fault from day one on the drive home I didn't want any third parties getting in the middle of the issue and confuse things, especially as its not easily diagnosed. They now have it back and I'm driving their Defender demo car. The talk is that they will replace the rack. I have talked to another guy on Facebook who said that's what finally sorted his after months of messing around. The Defender drives and steers like a dream. If only the RR sport could drive as well. |

Your symptoms sound exactly the same as mine. My arms were aching after half an hour on the motorway. Keep pushing back and use the "dangerous" word a lot in correspondence. They don't like that as if there was ever an incident on the road you have a paper trail to where you reported the problem and they didn't sort it. There seem to quite a few with similar issues with the owners just accepting that's how they are. I followed another one a few weeks back and could see it jinking from side to side trying to keep in lane which was what I had to do with the steering seemingly cutting power at speed. Mine was eventually sorted by some sort of new software update. It seems a lot better now, if nothing like as pleasant to drive as my previous D300 Defender. |
