| 2010 | STEERING | MY 2010 OUTBACK HAS A STEERING WHEEL SHAKE THAT OCCURS AT HIGHWAY (65+) SPEEDS. THE WHEEL OSCILLATES FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AT HIGH FREQUENCY, MOVING ABOUT 1/8" EACH WAY. THERE HAVE BEEN 4 ATTEMPTS AT FIXING THE PROBLEM, BUT SUBARU HAS NOT RESOLVED THE ISSUE. *TR |
| 2008 | ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL | WHILE DRIVING ON SLIGHTLY SLICK ROADS IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN THE REAR WHEELS WOULD LOSE TRACTION AND START TO FISH TAIL. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT THE GAS APPLIED, WITH OR WITHOUT THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGED. THE CAR FELT AS IF IT WAS SLIDING SIDE TO SIDE IN THE BACK. THE TIRES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AND THE VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED. OTHER VEHICLES WERE TRAVELING WITHOUT ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN REFERRED TO AS GHOST WALKING IN ON LINE BLOGS. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS. *TR |
