 Description of the problemThis is the 5th subaru i have owned in my life and have not had any problems with any of them with stability in snow and ice. I am a professional driver and have driven in all weather conditions in 2 wheel drive vehicles and 4. I purchase this car in june of 2012 and always felt that it was not stable on the road. When the snow fell, i was testing the road conditions on very dry crunchy snow, when i turned the vehicle to go around a left corner. (this is something my other 2001 subaru outback has no problems with.) the vehicle started to turn and the rear end came undone and the car slid into a 4 wheel skid. It felt as though the whole rear end had lost any traction. It took acceleration to get it to engage again. Both of my subaru's have all season radials that are in great shape. Later in december my husband (who is also a professional driver) and i were traveling down the freeway at 55 mph, the outside temperature was 38 degrees and the road surface was wet. We had just a few groceries in the back of the car and it was not heavily loaded. We hit a slight bump in the road and the car started swaying and wobbling like on icy roads. He was able to bring the car under control, but both of us were shocked at how unstable it was. We again checked the road surface and it was not icy. I have also encountered instability in snow and slush, that is not normal to the subaru outback. My other car has no problems like this. These cars should be recalled.
