Heavy Steering at Low Speed in 2020 Nissan Rogue
The steering feels abnormally heavy, especially during low-speed maneuvers such as parking or turning in tight spaces. This is often related to the electric power steering (EPS) system or front suspension components.

Faulty electric power steering motor or control module

Underinflated front tires or mismatched tire sizes
