Consumer Description
IN COMPARISON WITH MANY TRUCKS AND CARS I HAVE DRIVEN IN WINTER CONDITIONS FOR OVER 30 YEARS, OUR 2005 SUBURU OUTBACK IS MUCH MORE UNSTABLE ESPECIALLY IN THE REAR END WHENEVER HARD PACKED SNOW OR ICE IS ENCOUNTERED EVEN AT MODERATE SPEEDS (30-50 MPH). AT LEAST ONCE THIS CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SPIN UNCONTROLLABLY. IN IDENTICAL CONDITIONS, A TRUCK IN 2WD (I HAVE SEVERAL TRUCKS ON MY RANCH) IS FAR MORE STABLE. THERE IS A CLEAR SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR WHICH TIRES, INFLATION, ALIGNMENT ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURERS SPECS FAILS TO CURE. *TR
