| Description of the problem | Mostley at higher speeds. 70 mph. The steering reacts erratically. Mutiple symptions concerns. On a consistent basis,the feeling of control leaves,it feels as though it hydroplaning in deep waterwhen your tires temporanily lose contact with pavement. This can happen during any condition. All control seems to leave ,then control comes back. In high winds ,when u need to correct the steeing angle this sisation happens a lot. Any movement from a straight line will cause this to happen. Sometime straight line driving ,the steering wheel just momentarily attempts to turn on its own. In the rain afraid to dive outback 65 mph because the the steerin keeps leaving,again like its hydro plaining,and no i wasent hydroplaning as every other car was passing me 70+ mph. This is a consistent and constant problem. Its vey scarey and i quite alarmned at tis proble. There is something major wrong with the 2018 subaru outback limited. Need help. Afraid to drive car.

Ill need a signed dockument from service rep before i drive car again. |
