SUSPENSION |
THIS WAS ONE OF THE FIRST SNOWS OF THE WINTER AND I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 SUBARU OUTBACK DOWN DETROIT FREEWAYS TO METRO AIRPORT TO PICKUP MY SON. I HAD MY WIFE IN THE FRONT SEAT AND MY YOUNGEST SON IN THE REAR SEAT. AS THE SNOW BEGAN TO FALL I FELT THE CAR LURCH BACK AND FORTH AS IF I WERE DRIVING THROUGH ICY OR SNOWY RUTS. I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER (50 YEARS OLD) AND HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS EXCEPT DURING AN ICE STORM, ETC. I THOUGHT THE ROAD MUST HAVE HAD "BLACK ICE" UNDER THE SNOW AS MY CAR WAS ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE. I SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 30MPH AND, TO MY SURPRISE, SAW TWO WHEEL DRIVE PICKUP TRUCKS, ETC. PASSING ME AT 10 - 20MPH FASTER THAN I WAS GOING... EVERYONE WAS PASSING OUR CAR AS I WHEN I TRIED TO MATCH THEIR SPEED IT SEEMED THAT I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL WITH THE REAR END HAVING A MIND OF ITS OWN SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH. IN THE MONTHS THAT FOLLOWED, I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THE THREADS CALLING THIS PHENOMENON "GHOSTWALKING". I HOPE THAT NHTSA DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AS I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO GET HURT OR KILLED THINKING THAT THIS CAR IS A GREAT SNOW CAR (FROM A GROUND CLEARANCE AND AWD STANDPOINT) AND FINDING OUT THE HARD WAY THAT IT IS NOT. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT IT IS WORSE WHEN THE SUSPENSION IS LOADED DOWN WITH MORE PASSENGERS, AS IT WAS IN THIS INSTANCE, THAN WHEN IT IS JUST THE DRIVER AND NO CARGO IN THE HATCH AREA. *TR |

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE |
I PURCHASED A 2010 SUBARU OUTBACK 2.5I WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON MAY 2010. WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IS UPON FULLY DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH TO EITHER SLOW THE CAR DOWN AND/OR BRING THE CAR TO A COAST THE ENGINE RPMS DROPS RATHER RAPIDLY WHICH ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS HAS RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE BORDERLINE STALLING BEFORE THE ENGINE COMPUTER COMPENSATES BY INCREASING THE IDLE SLIGHTLY WHILE COASTING OR SLOWING DOWN WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED. THIS IS FAR MORE PREVALENT WHEN THE A/C IS RUNNING. TODAY (SUN 7/25) I WAS APPROACHING A RIGHT TURN, THE A/C WAS RUNNING. I STARTED THE PROCESS OF SLOWING DOWN THE CAR BY FULLY DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH AND BRAKING. WHEN I STARTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO ENTER THE TURN I BARELY COULD DO SO. THE REASON FOR THIS IS THE ENGINE THIS TIME STALLED. GENERALLY YOU CAN HEAR THE ENGINE SHUDDER BEFORE A STALL, IN THIS CASE IT DID NOT. IT ALMOST RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE HITTING A POLE WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN INSIDE. THE CAR RESTARTED RIGHT AWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATIONS. DURING THE COURSE OF THIS SAME DAY ON AT LEAST TWO MORE OCCASION I FULLY DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH TO EITHER SLOW THE CAR OR COAST AND THE CAR SHUDDER INDICATING A POTENTIAL STALL BUT THE CAR COMPENSATED. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP BECAUSE IT WILL RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THANK YOU. *TR |
