Description of the problem	While traveling thru the adirondack region of ny on a sunday afternoon returning home from vt i proceeded to pass a vehicle from the center lane into the left lane. Speed was 65mph accelerating to 69mph to pass, not more than 250 ft later our vehicle started to fishtail then head right into numerous 360 spins taking out 35 ft or so of guard rail and crunching and damaging almost every side and corner of our outback. Both hands were on the wheel, i did not hit any snow or ice that i am aware of and i was not speeding excessively. Not one of our airbags deployed either!! I am confident there was some sort of mechanical or electrical issue with the stability control of the 2006 outback we were driving and am thankful we were not seriously injured.
