    Take to qualified shop for roadtest and rack & pinion inspection or p/s pump pressure problems. Have steering linkage inspected for any damage or looseness, check tires also.

    Another note: your steering has electric assist - not hydraulic. There is a motor in the steering column that gives power assist. You will definitely need a specialist (dealership?) specifically knowledgeable about this less common system to help diagnose the problem.
