Description of the problem | The new outback is exhibiting lane wandering as others described in good detail. Other vehicles i've driven go in a (more-or-less) straight line with minimal effort and minimal corrections. The ob is all over the road, able to stay in the lane with a lot of effort and correction. There is a big flaw in the steering (maybe not all but a lot of them) and it is a safety issue. Is it going to take a major accident and/or a death before nhtsa and subaru takes a look at this issue?? |
