Description of the problem	2005 subaru outback exhibits a serious of stability when driving at a steady speed on the highway when there is the slightest degradation of traction. The rear of the vehicle will begin to sway from side to side on flat and straight road surfaces if the roads are wet from rain or even with a light dusting of snow. On december 3 2010 i was driving north on i-75 north of flint michigan, there was occasional light snow flurries that were barely coating the road surface. I was driving at the posted speed limit (70 mph) when the snow started to lightly coat the road the vehicles rear end started to sway from side to side in a violent manner. I had to slow down to 50 mph to regain control of the vehicle, all the while i was being passed by 2wd pick ups and 2wd drive vehicles. The vehicle has exhibited the same behaviors on wet road surfaces during and following rain. It's time for subaru to correct this problem. I'm not feeling the love. *ln
