| Description of the problem | Vehicle does not handle well on the highway/interstate. Seems to drift and wander. I have driven many vehicles and this is the first vehicle that i have owned that i have had this experience with. I purchased my first 2013 that wasn't what i wanted so they ordered the same vehicle withe everything i wanted. Both of these outbacks did the very same things since day one. On a non-windy day it is if a drunk driver is driving, always having to correct the steering. On a windy day it is near impossible to stay in your own lane properly. |
