2013 Subaru OUTBACK Suspension Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle suspension does not control vehicle during freeway speed driving. Vehicle experiences large left-right sway motions on wavy pavement at freeway speeds and large uncontrolled vehicle motions up-down at freeway speeds. Vehicle is hard to control during occurrences and needs constant steering corrections as result of large suspension motions. Also due to the poorly damped suspension, braking distances are long. Car does not slow down as expected, especially when vehicle is undergoing a large suspension articulation. Several months ago, my vehicle was initially taken to dealership to verify problem, but, dealership mechanic said vehicle behaves w/ in spec and like other vehicles. I recently took my vehicle in for another issue, but, received a loaner vehicle identical to my vehicle. The loaner vehicle does not respond in the same manner as my vehicle. Loaner vehicle exhibits well damped suspension control and negligible body motions. Braking distances are much better on the loaner vehicle largely due to the well damped suspension. The loaner vehicle is significantly easier to drive than my vehicle. My vehicle is still currently at the dealership being reviewed by subaru of america's technical advisor.
