Description of the problem	I received my outback on nov 1 2013 and have been having a steering lane centering issue since day one. The car will not drive in a straight line without major intervention by constant correction. The car will go left or right, but will never go straight. If i check my mirrors and blind spot for a lane change by the time i look back my car has drifted out of lane or nearly out of lane. I am not sure what is more dangerous at this point checking my blind spot or not checking my blind spot, since either can lead to an accident. I drive between 25k-50k miles a year, and have never experienced a problem like this. However, the dealer tells me this is normal and was designed by subaru to due this. I can't see how this is possible. I checked with a few other fleet outback drivers within the company, and all of them have this same issue. (four) however, not all their local dealers say it was designed to do it, but say there is no fix to the problem. I am nervous that i am going to look like a drunk driver to someone because i am consistently swerving, or this issue causes a accident. I have four kids and i can't risk having an accident. I am really not looking forward to winter this year with this problem. I am reporting this in hopes that this problem is addressed before someone dies, if they haven't already.
