Description of the problem	Driving on a busy street, turned down a residential street and the steering wheel started shaking violently. We have own the car since june, 2013 and this has been an ongoing problem. The will be a beep ,then the eps and traction control will show on the dash board and then the steering wheel will start to shake violently. My husband shut off the vehicle and it violently shake for 20 mins. At times when this problem occurred in the past the car would be on but we did not even leave the drive way. The first time it did it me was 4 months after purchasing the vehicle and i had my child in the back seat taking her to school when the steering wheel started shaking violently, i was in the middle of a busy intersection and i couldn't get out because i was not strong enough to handle the steering wheel, and we almost got hit. Each time (more than 5 times now) we were either stopped or going less than 25 miles per hour, the eps and traction will light, and the steering wheel will shake violently anywhere from 5 minutes to 45 minutes. There was a time when my husband was driving in our small town when the eps light was on but my husband had no power steering. The steering wheel didn't shake.
