Description of the problem	My 2011 outback is unstable at high speed on the highway. It tends to wander and has a difficult time keeping straight at 70+ mph. This is particularly noticeable when driving long distance. Constant adjustments are necessary at 70+ mph to keep the vehicle in a straight line. I noticed this soon after taking possession of the vehicle and driving on the highway at speed 70+ mph on a 65-68 miles trip to work. I ignored the situation thinking it is normal until the vehicle almost wander into a big rig truck in the next lane during a lane passing in october 2011. Subaru dealer has already performed an alignment in nov 2011 which helped for about 2 weeks, but the wandering issue appears again. I took the vehicle back to the dealer again in dec 2011, but the technician said the alignment was within in spec and did not notice this issue. I can't say for sure if this is a defect or if the vehicle was just design as-is. However, i drive with "white knuckles" at speed 70+ and feel this vehicle may not be safe to keep long term.
