Description of the problem	My electronic power steering has been acting like it is shorting out. It started off as something that felt weird but got progressively worse. As i would turn around a corner the steering wheel would feel like it was bouncing back or fighting back, you could force it past the jolting but it would make corning very awkward and concerning. At first it would happen maybe every few times i drove but it got more and more to every time i drove the car. I eventually just unplugged the power steering and have been driving without it since.
