Description of the problem	Had the car for about a year now. Driven it thru some snow and have experienced what is know as the "ghost walking issue". The rear end tends to wander back and forth while driving on slushy snow and on ice. Also does this when one rear wheel goes in a pot hole especially when driving on an off ramp. Car has been aligned at the dealer and has new tires as well. These things were done to fix the issue but it did not. Car is all stock. Car is dangerous to drive in the above conditions. This car was bought for our daughter to drive back and forth to college and now we don't dare let her drive it. There have been many complaints about this issue on subaru sites like subaru. Org that i am surprised nothing has been done. We are getting rid of car as soon as we can because of this main reason.
