My Toyota had this exact issue a couple weeks ago. I had to reset the steering angle sensor. For mine it was engine off, steer lock to lock, switch off and crank. Fixed it right up, Nissan might be similar.
I had the same problem with the steering wheel being off center after alignment and like the OP it drove me nuts. I took my car to Tyrol Sport (very reputable private VW/Audi shop in the NYC area) and they told me the MK5 has a steering anlge sensor that must be adjusted. They did and the problem was fixed.
P2 steering angle sensor. Is there any way to repair one that is throwing errors randomly?
Had an 06 Toyota Highlander that did that after 4 or 5 years. It was a fault in the sensors or control circuit of the electric power steering unit that made the car jerk the wheel in the opposite direction direction to where I would start steering.
Installed a new steering angle sensor and reset it but light comes bacl pn Symptom : (1) ESR light is on (the arrow around the exclamation point symbol), (2) My steering wheel feels very loose as in the feeling where your traction control lets the driver know they don't have traction on the road when they are hydroplaning.
