 Description of the problem1.) 2011 subaru outback premium - new car purchase - with less than 300 miles on it. 2.) the car loses control at upper speeds (65mph+) where it sways out of control as if an icy patch was hit. The steering wheel also shakes at a rapidly low frequency creating a numbness in the driver's hands and forearms making it difficult to hold the steering wheel. This occurs every day when above 65mph. 3.) subaru dealerships have said they can not repeat the issue (however they do not take the car outside the city, therefore they are not driving beyond 65mph). No parts or repairs have been provided although tires were checked over for balance. This is an on going issue with subaru owners for the 2010 and 2011 model. I know of other subaru owners who have had tires rotated, balanced, etc and nothing has changed. Thousands of forums are now online in regards to this.
