| While driving the car on a slightly snowy/slippery road with light snow falling, it felt like the rear end of the car was spinning out and i was heading off the road. i had to slow down to about 30 mph in order to stay in my lane. everyone else was flying past me. i have since had many occasions where these same conditions caused the same effects with the car. it seems to worsen when i have passengers or any extra weight in the car. when the driving conditions that cause this problem exist, i cannot drive my car, but must rent another vehicle or borrow someone else's car. we have owned other subaru outbacks of 1998 or earlier with no problems in snow. numerous times i brought this problem up with subaru corporation of america and my dealership and everyone denies there is any problem with the car. i'm totally frustrated!! | |||

| Car is not safe on packed snow or icy roads. all road feel is gone and it feels as if the car could spin out of control at any moment. most other cars seem to pass without issue. for a awd car this is unacceptable. you must slow down to 40 and below to have any hopes of keeping the car in a straight line. i have put nokia snow tires on the and car drives perfect in fresh snow but still cannot drive in slippery conditions. i have not noticed this on wet pavement. subaru feels like an alignment will correct the problem. going in for one in a week. if it does not fix the issue i will sell the car. i found many owners with the same issue on subaruoutback.org. | |||
