Description of the problem	At 13,000 miles car steering pulled to the right and left without driver performing this act. Feels like car is hydroplaning or affected by high winds when neither condition is present. Presents danger as driver has no control as to when this happens or what direction it will go. Occurs at all speeds but worsens after 50mph. Research shows there are other complaints of this same situation with other subaru cars. My dealership claimed they had not heard of the problem but suggested to manual turn off lane assist. I performed this action to no avail - the problem continues . Happens on city streets at 25 mph as well as on highways. While first incident was august 5, 2019 it never stopped.
