That’s too bad and I wish I had some ideas on how to fix it. I will say when new it was pretty darty. Now I can very easily drive 85mph one handed. I am running 38front/42rear cold.

I’d start with tyre pressure and wheel alignment and compre to the hire car. The dealer should sort this all out for you. Mine is at 250kpi /36psi and runs well all the way throughI'm in the UK. My vehicle is four months old. I was expecting to have to get used to the steering system from all the reviews. The stability at anything over 60mph feels unstable, but I thought it was just a characteristic and got used to driving slower, especially on motorways. I've got a loan car as mine is in for the software update and a few other things. The loaner stability is much better than mine, and it felt okay even at 80 miles per hour. My steering feels to have a bit more play when turning, and the loan car feels much more directional and safe. I'm waiting for the dealer to return, but I am worried that they will say nothing is wrong, and I have to live with it. Any thought on possible problems?
I agree entirely. I have the KO2 tyres and they were horrible at cruising speed for the first 3k miles and are now fine having worn in and reduced pressures to 37. I tried a dealer car with Bridgestones and they are much better on the road.How many miles/km has your vehicle travelled? Do you have the BFG KO2 or the Bridgestone tyres?
Pressures aside, a few people have noted their highway tracking improved with the KO2 tyres after they had done some work to break them in. After 4 months you're probably outside the new tyre zone but something to consider. In addition to the good advice you're getting, a simple wheel rotation (position change) may highlight a tyre issue.
I think this is also important to keep in mind; even other off-road centric vehicles, at least here in the US, come with on-road centric tires (for instance, TRD Off Road models from Toyota).The difference with the Grenadier is we start with ATs and forget we have made that compromise up front and judge the car unfairly as a result.
I encountered the same experience as you’re describing. I asked the dealer to look at it while other issues were being rectified.I'm in the UK. My vehicle is four months old.

What pressures are you running if unloaded? I think delivery pressures are 40PSI?I would confirm that you are at the "lower" unloaded pressures (assuming you aren't loaded with passengers and cargo all the time); the decrease in pressure will make a notable difference in highway handling
I believe they are in the manual, something around 36-37 IIRCWhat pressures are you running if unloaded? I think delivery pressures are 40PSI?
There has been a recall of over 60 Ineos Grenadier vehicles in the US due to power steering issues/failure.I'm in the UK. My vehicle is four months old.

Absolutely tell the dealer to get on it. There is a recall related to the things you describe.I'm in the UK. My vehicle is four months old.

Show us the proof you keep referring to! This is untrue. The US had a recall on a non locking nut.There has been a recall of over 60 Ineos Grenadier vehicles in the US due to power steering issues/failure.
Having had issues that Lyn Calder insisted were 'a one off' with the power steering on our Grenadier I am now suspecting that it is a much bigger problem than they are letting on...
You can contact her directly, ( via LinkedIn)Ineos customer care are very pleasant but don't actually do anything and our dealership were also very pleasant but couldn't do anything.
You have up until 6 months to reject the vehicle ( UK) you can get legal advice from citizens advice or through buying a subscription to Which ? Magazine .
If you would like to speak to me directly I would be happy to help if I can .
At low speed it is dead and it takes a few seconds for the power assist to kick in.do you find your steering heavy in the centre Dave, at low/zero speed?
I have not heard this at all. Please link your source on this as if verified, it’s a major point of concern. However, without attribution, it’s a big claim.There has been a recall of over 60 Ineos Grenadier vehicles in the US due to power steering issues/failure.

8 points for Krabby for using "attribution" in a sentence.I have not heard this at all. Please link your source on this as if verified, it’s a major point of concern. However, without attribution, it’s a big claim.
Left me completely discombobulated.8 points for Krabby for using "attribution" in a sentence.
I bet that sent a lot of viewers to Google, Wikipedia, or given the age of many, a dictionary.
