Description of the problem	I was driving my 2011 hyundai sonata limited at about 30 mph (accelerating after stopping at a light). The car was just turning over 3000 miles on the odometer. All at once, the steering wheel began vibrating violently and i could not keep the car in my lane. I tried to steer but it was very difficult. The vibration stopped after about 2 minutes. I was in a bad part of town and was afraid to stop so i drove in the right hand lane with flashers on trying to figure out what to do. The eps light and an another indicator were illuminated. I realized that i could steer but with great difficulty so i drove the car to a hyundai dealer that was about 3 miles away via back roads. They were closed but i left my car overnight to be checked. I turned the car off to go inside. When i came out to get my odometer reading, i had to turn the car back on. When i did, everything had reset to normal. The dealer checked the car the next day and could find nothing wrong. He told me to bring the car back if it happened again. The incident was extremely frightening and i am concerned what will happen if it occurs driving on a highway at higher speeds.
