Description of the problem	I own a 2006 subaru outback 2. 5i with automatic transmission and about 28,000 miles. It is an all wheel drive vehicle. On "black ice", regular ice and hard snow pack, it weaves side to side on its own. The driver basically loses the ability to control the vehicle. The experience would be similar to be driving with a strong side wind which moves your vehicle on you. The difference is with the wind you can take corrective action and steer into the wind to counteract its effect. In this case, you are captive to wherever the vehicle takes you and can do nothing about it short of slowing down or stop driving it altogether. This is unnerving to say the least and frightening otherwise. The only way to stop the vehicle from moving by itself is to slow down to 35mph or less. While i have not been in an accident (yet), while driving it under these conditions, it is very nerve racking. Subaru is well aware of the problem and has chosen to do nothing about it to this point. They must be waiting for fatalities or lawsuits before they feel a "fix" is necessary. Please investigate this problem. It is real and could be very dangerous if not fixed.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
