Try using the Lane Keeping assist feature for those highway trips.
Also, I would take it back to the dealer if the under 5 mph issue persists.

I agree with the poster above maybe it's lane keep assist.

I have no power steering issues with mine even at low speeds.

That is a good point, if he had lane keep assist on and didn’t understand how it works, fighting it for a four hour trip would be brutal!

Have discovered cold weather effects steering/ 1st time at minus 5 degrees/2nd time at minus 14 degrees. the slower the speed the harder the effort

Technically shouldn't it be the other way around, more power assist at slower speeds and less at higher? Or am I crazy?

Some here have complained that the Lane Keeper keeps the vehicle too close to the dividing line. Needs adjustment.
