Description of the problem	While driving on snow covered roads with three people and ski equipment in the vehicle, i experienced dangerous, abnormal handling. This phenomenon has been reported by many other 2005-2009 subaru outback owners, and is believed to be caused by a design flaw in the vehicles suspension system. Specifically, the outbacks appear to have a chassis tuning issue where the rear suspension oscillates in such a way to cause rear-steer. When this occurs road feel and handling confidence are completely lost. Please investigate this dangerous design flaw and see that it is properly addressed by the vehicle manufacturer.
