This car will not track straight. Nice firm steering, but simply will not track straight. There is no sense of center. If left alone, the steering will go slightly left, or slightly right, but never center. This is annoying fair weather, but outright dangerous in weather or wind. A major impact on vehicle stability and safety. This car is new, with 700 miles and has done this since day one. A Subaru dealer is checking the alignment, but they say the are aware of this issue, and have no answers. Even an alignment may not fix the issue. For the record, my level of car and mechanical knowledge is very high, so this is not a casual complaint. I have had the car for three weeks, not getting better. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.
New lease beginning in March 2021. The steering column is erratically loose, noticeable at highway speed in April 2021, accompanied by slight swerve. Subaru dealer (cityside) begrudgingly assessed and found it needed alignment aligned. Steering column now again erratically loose, less so than before, but still disconcerting, and accompanied by slight swerve. Does not feel safe to drive at highway speed.
