The contact owns a 2007 Subaru Outback. The contact stated that the rear end swerved when driving at any speed. A local auto specialist performed an alignment and the tires were replaced however the failure was not corrected. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileage was 92,000.

2 Wheel problem

Failure Date: 02/09/2013

While driving on snow covered roads with three people and ski equipment in the vehicle, I experienced dangerous, abnormal handling. This phenomenon has been reported by many other 2005-2009 Subaru Outback owners, and is believed to be caused by a design flaw in the vehicles suspension system. Specifically, the Outbacks appear to have a chassis tuning issue where the rear suspension oscillates in such a way to cause rear-steer. When this occurs road feel and handling confidence are completely lost. Please investigate this dangerous design flaw and see that it is properly addressed by the vehicle manufacturer.
