Vios steering vibration spongy handling

Hey, I'm having a weird issue with my 2010 Toyota Vios (gasoline engine). The steering wheel is vibrating, and the handling feels spongy. I also scanned for errors and found one related to the power steering. It's getting harder to steer, like the power steering is failing. Anyone else experience this? I checked for obvious loose connections, but nothing stood out.

Summary of the thread

A 2010 Toyota Vios is experiencing steering wheel vibration and spongy handling, with a detected error related to the power steering system. The problem worsened gradually, suggesting a non-catastrophic issue. The solution was found to be a loose cable or plug connection, which was resolved at a workshop.

Interesting. I had similar symptoms on my old Opel Corsa, although the shaking wasn't as pronounced initially. Could be a few things. How's the steering fluid level? Any unusual noises when you turn the wheel at low speeds? Has the problem developed gradually, or did it appear suddenly? A defective pressure hose can manifest similar issue

Fluid level seems normal, and no weird noises that I can hear. It did seem to get worse over a few weeks. What ended up being the cause with your Corsa?

Ah, gradual worsening points away from sudden catastrophic failure, doesn't it? In my case, with the Corsa, it was a corroded electrical connector on the electric steering system. I would suggest visiting a workshop.

Thanks for the help! Turns out it was a loose cable/plug connection. The workshop charged me 95€ to fix it.
