2017 Subaru Outback 2. 5 limited has loose steering in the rain and going down hills. Drifts a lot with cross winds vehicle had alignment and tire inspection and suspension checked and all was fine but car still is unstable in bad weather. Feels like it is swaying and the tires are not on the ground. Tires have 13k miles on them and are in good shape. Shocks are fine. Repair shops can not determine the problem.

I had just entered the golf course parking lot and had turned right to enter a parking slot. My speed was less than 5 mph. My car suddenly accelerated out of control, hit the concrete parking block and jumped over a 1 foot high wall which was 3 ft. Away from the block. The car ended up on a downslope and the rear wheel fortunately caught on a retaining wall. I was not injured and the airbags did not deploy. There was one witness to this terrifying event which occurred on February 4th at about 8:10 am in a parking spot that I have used at least 50 times in the past year.

This is a re-submission of complaint no 11398779. Photo files failed to upload. I had just entered the golf course parking lot and had turned right to enter a perpendicular parking slot. My speed was less than 5 mph. My car suddenly accelerated out of control, hit a concrete parking block (6 in high) and then over a 1 foot high wall which was 3 feet from the block. The car ended up on a down slope and the rear wheel fortunately caught on a retaining wall. I was not injured and the airbags did not deploy. There was one witness to this terrifying event which occurred on February 4, 2010 at about 8:10 am. It occurred in a part of the parking lot I have used at least 50 times in the past year. Several members have said they are afraid of parking in these spots and will never use them again. The component that failed is unknown to me, but I feel it is a definite safety risk. I was fully insured and the minor damage to the car was covered by my insurance. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

Passenger side rear strut completely collapsed/failed at 45000 miles. I replaced (not an easy job) with same kyb oe part.
