Out doing some errands tonight and after getting back in the car to drive across the street to my next stop there was a very weird vibration in the steering wheel - like it had a hidden massage function. At first I though it was just road feel but it really wasn’t - it was vibrating. Heating was not on.

Drove 30 seconds across the street, and parked. My daughter confirmed what I was feeling through the wheel.

Turned the car off and then on again - no more vibration. Drove home and nothing either.

Super weird.

Anyone else every felt such a thing? Related to power steering maybe?

I can't remember if the wheel vibrates when you cross a lane marker to warn you you're going out of the lane. Maybe it was that?
It does. There is vibration in the wheel when you get too close to a painted line.

I was in a parking lot, essentially driving under 5 mph…

It was also different from the lane departure warning..higher frequency.

Lane keeping or something like that (alert?)? Can remember the exact setting you need to turn off. I thought something was wrong with the front end on my test drive till I found it. I like to color outside the lines.

What's the FORscan setting to enable the massaging steering wheel function? 🤔

I’m going to go out on a limb and postulate that it was the lane keep warning vibration gone rogue. I was driving under 5 mph in a parking lot, and it started as soon as I turned the car on…so…weird. And then gone as soon as I turned the car on and off.

Just wondering if it’s happened to any one else…
