Description of the problem	I purchased this 2005 subaru outback this past summer. I have driven it on the very same road i describe below, under dry conditions, with absolutely no issues whatsoever. On this particular night, the roads were just starting to build snow and freeze, but others were driving and passing with no issues. While traveling on this two lane road, with a speed limit of 70mph, my subaru developed a sway in the back end. It felt like the subaru was going to lose control and sway into on coming traffic. If i went over 30mph the sway began and i feared that the "sway" was going to send my car into the opposite lane of traffic and cause me to have a head on wreck. I didn't notice any other vehicles having any issues. During this trip, i had to drive no faster than 30mph on a two lane road with a 70mph speed limit. There were several cars behind me and several in the oncoming lane. I couldn't pull over and let traffic pass because there wasn't any turn outs and there was continuous oncoming traffic. I was forced to drive less than 30mph, for fear that i was going to have a head on collision, and had to straddle the rumble strip on the shoulder of the road. I was nearly forced off the road by a semi truck following me. This was an extremely scary situation. I have been driving on snow and ice covered roads for over 30 years and i have never had an experience as horrible as this. I feared for my life and the lives of my children riding in the car!!!! After getting past the ice and snow on this road, i drove on, going 70mph, and had no issues with the car at all. The "sway occurs" on icy/snow covered roads while going over 30mph. The "sway "only happens in the rear of the car. Please! Please! Please! This is an issue that needs to be addressed and fixed!!!
