Model Year	2005
File date	13/01/11
Component	UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Car is not safe on packed snow or icy roads. All road feel is gone and it feels as if the car could spin out of control at any moment. Most other cars seem to pass without issue. For a awd car this is unacceptable. You must slow down to 40 and below to have any hopes of keeping the car in a straight line. I have put nokia snow tires on the and car drives perfect in fresh snow but still cannot drive in slippery conditions. I have not noticed this on wet pavement. Subaru feels like an alignment will correct the problem. Going in for one in a week. If it does not fix the issue i will sell the car. I found many owners with the same issue on subaruoutback. Org.
