Description of the problem	In december of 2008 i drove from idaho to montana over christmas. Road conditions were broken ice and compact snow. Whenever the car would hit a bump in the road, the rear end would tend to kick from side to side. I was forced to reduce my speed to around 30 mph, even though all other vehicles could maintain higher speeds in a safe manner. I have experienced this problem on several later occasions, and it appears to occur only when the vehicle has been loaded down with passenger(s) or cargo. Subaruoutback. Org has a gigantic thread on this topic. It appears i am not the only one with this problem. Http://www. Subaruoutback. Org/forums/showthread. Php? S=b16ba9fdce5398dec3b38124c6d0e1b9&threadid=11267&perpage=20&pagenumber=1 in march of 2009, i had an alignment done at a subaru dealership in boise. I have not experienced the problem to date, but this winter has been unseasonably warm, and i have not driven on much packed snow or ice. Moreover, i have not driven with extra cargo, which seems to exasperate the problem. However, i am not convinced the problem is gone, and judging by the continued amount of complaints on subaruoutback. Com, i believe subaru needs to formally address the problem. This is a significant safety concern.
