2 Rear Suspension problem

Failure Date: 11/30/2008

2007 Subaru Outback does not handle properly on icy roads. The awd fails or pulls, causing the driver to lose control at speeds over 35-40mph. Other 2wd cars on the road pass and handle the same conditions better with no appearance of sliding. This has happened several times. We have also replaced the tires and had two alignments in the past year. The problem persists whenever we are on an ice packed road, but does not present in snow or where the road has been treated with adequate mag chloride.
