 Description of the problemThe steering of my new subaru outback seems to wander on the road. It is a challenge to keep this brand new vehicle between the lines or in a particular lane of the road. Vehicle wanders / drifts to left and / or right, will not track straight and does this when ever driving but is more noticeable above speeds of 35 mph. The driver has to make constant corrections while driving the vehicle straight, this causes fatigue in the arms and is exhausting to the operator. One can not safely operate a vehicle like this. A semi-tractor trailer rig was on the right side of my lane (we were in the number 1 lane of the highway) and my outback wandered to the right, we almost went into / under the trailer of the "big rig". I later i contacted the subaru dealership and arraigned to bring vehicle back to have them look at it. When i returned with the vehicle, they checked alignment and said it was ok. The vehicle continues to wander whenever i drive it and daily while i drive to and from work. Again, i drove the vehicle back to the subaru dealership and they have been talking with subaru of america, receiving different specs and the service department has been doing some work on the vehicle. I have never owned a vehicle, new or old (used) that handled this way. There are several forums with pages of information, data and complaints by people from all over the country. Please act now to resolve these issues before someone's looses their life due to the unsafe faulty vehicles.
