Description of the problem	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!!
