Description of the problem	We went skiing with our kids last saturday. There was an ice storm the night before and the roads were bad. We were traveling about 50 miles. I have driven icy roads my whole life and have owned several subarus. At any speed over 45 mph the back end would kick sideways. I could tell by the other car's on the road that day that my problem was unique. This is a very dangerous situation with drivers that are not used to winter driving. When i purchased the car they told me to rotate the tires at the correct intervals because the computer will adjust the speed of the tires separately. I think the computer adjustments are the problem. It must be able to tell if is slipping and adjust the speed of the rear tire and kick it sideways. It is impossible to tell how many car accidents have happened because of this. A small amount of research on the internet revealed this is a common complaint with this vehicle.
