2010 Subaru OUTBACK Tires Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	770805
Internal NHTSA #	10314682
Manufacurer	SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	OUTBACK
Model Year	2010
File date	12/10/09
Component	TIRES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	There is an continuous vibration and shimmy in the front-end and steering wheel of my 2010 subaru outback that since new (oct 2009) has not been able to be rectified by subaru mechanics, even with cooperation by subaru of america. This vibration can sometimes be dramatic through the steering wheel at highway speeds, and causes erratic drivability, especially in adverse conditions. This vibration may also cause premature wear on front tires, steering and suspension components that could lead to failure and injury, especially at highway speeds. In fact, subaru initially blamed the tire manufacturer - continental - for the issue, stating the tires were defective, and had continental issue replacement tires for my outback. This did solve the problem. If this problem is researched on popular and respectable automotive web sites, one can find that it has been affecting a considerable amount of 2010 subaru outbacks and to date, no owners have had their issue resolved by subaru of america. Many other owners reported subaru of america replacing what were considered "defective" continental tires, with another set of exact tires from continental. I am worried that this issue is not getting enough exposure and may take an unfortunate accident for anyone to seriously take notice. I have a customer service case open with subaru, but it is evident from my repeated conversations with them that they are being evasive with where they are in fixing this issue, and i have now become deeply concerned for the safety of my family. They want to try another 'fix', but that will not be until mid-march, with no guarantee of resolution. This is a brand new car with only 6,000 miles on it, and i have been thoroughly disappointed with the issues it has had. This vehicle was heavily influenced by toyota, who owns a considerable percentage of subaru... If this says anything.
