Description of the problem	High winds caused a loss of steering and the entire car was moved and i almost blew into a semi. This always happens in high winds (25- 30mph and above ). Internet bloggers call this " lane wandering" subaru refuses to address this problem. I filed a claim with subaru of america and their response was "it has been determined that the vehicle is operating as designed". I am past the date of being able to use the lemon law. The only option subaru has given me is to trade-in the car with a $1500 discount toward a new one. I hesitate to do business with them again as there is a trust issue and i cannot, in good conscience,sell the car to someone else. It is very dangerous and i am afraid to drive it. I did speak to a gentleman with the same problem and he said subaru bought back the car from him, however they refused to do that for me. I have been trying to resolve this problem with subaru for a couple of years with no satisfaction. Here is a link that may be helpful. Http:/www. Subaruoutback.
