Description of the problem	Our 2009 subaru outback is radically dangerous when driving on compacted snow or ice. The car becomes almost uncontrollable with rear oversteer on moderately slippery roads; even at very slow speeds without applying any acceleration. Our vehicle has always displayed these "quirks" but it is now outright dangerous. The car is a manual transmission and has been extremely well maintained. I certainly hope nhtsa is aware of this issue as there is clearly a design flaw. We have never been in an accident but living in the midwest driving this car it feels like it only a matter of time. The handling is so bad that it becomes a danger to overcoming traffic.

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.
