Description of the problem	Car was purchased in september 2014. This was my first time driving this car in wet, snowy driving conditions. I had 5 passengers and twice we had the rear end of the car kind of break loose. It felt like it was swinging to the side. It scared me and the passengers in the car. I have not noticed it while driving alone. I originally suspected under inflated or poor tires, but when i checked the following day they were not bad. I went to a subaru website looking for tire recommendations and there are over 1,000 postings regarding "ghostwalking" on 2005-2009 subaru outbacks. I had never heard of this before but it appears to describe my conditions. *js
