My car will shake back and forth intermittently while driving. When I stop and park, it may also continue to do this. This happens regardless of the road that I am driving on and regardless if I am on highways or city roads. Certain times, the steering wheel will jerk on its own one way or the other and I have to overcorrect the jerking to ensure that I stay on the road.

Steering wheel vibrates, until suddenly the power steering goes out, radio displays a message stating "power steering." This can happen while driving, while idling, or the power steering simply does not come on when the car is started. It began in 2015 and continues today, growing progressively worse.
