I have a 2019, not sure if anything changed, but I will say that the only aspect of that system that I have on is the lowest level setting of steering wheel vibrate, no assist. I mention it because you can turn "assist" aspect off. I hated it/thought it did more harm than help and was half baked. I don't mind the little vibration/am used to it now but that assist was complete garbage in my view...
I hope you get it fixed, but, I guess my reason for posting is that it is a pretty useless "feature" anyway that can just be shut off...

I have a 2023 I got 3 weeks ago and Lane Assist has been great going straight down the road just covering the wheel. This morning on well lined roads it lost it mind and started fighting me hard to keep it going straight. It wanted to ping-pong violently. I shut it off and on again with the steering wheel controls, but same results. Looking to see if the OP got it fixed or anyone else has had sudden issues with it.

It was never really "fixed", there were 2 things that helped make the system slightly better though
New tires fixed my flatspot and vibration issue.
Second, I have to maintain some consistent pressure on the wheel to one side or another, light pressure, but enough for the system to "want" to correct the opposite way.
Both those things seem to help.
The final thing that helped me the most, I just re-set my expectations incredibly low, because it doesn't work as well as my wife's $30k Hyundai.

Rd618 thanks for replying back. My 2023 got it’s mind back the next time I drove it and has been working correctly since (have used it 3 times since). It may have been frost on the camera, but not enough to make it not work just not work correctly. As far as constant pressure on the steering wheel I let go of the wheel and let the system take it’s self to the side it’s trying to go to. Once it sees that it re-centers and that pressure goes away. If the road has a pretty good crown that process gets repeated, but at least I’m not fighting the wheel. I had a 2015 F-150 with first gen lane keeping, so this new generation does a lot better, but this vehicle is new to me, so final review is pending.
