Consumer Description

2011 SUBARU LEGACY 2.5I CVT PREMIUM MODEL : AT HIGHWAY CRUISING SPEEDS OF 60+ MPH, THE VEHICLE FEELS "WOBBLY". THE CAR FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS GETTING SWAYED FROM SIDE TO SIDE, EVEN IN GOOD ROAD CONDITIONS. THIS FEELING IS VERY UNSAFE. IT CAUSES A FEELING OF LOSS OF CONTROL ON THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS EVEN THOUGH THE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE NORMAL (NO EXCESSIVE WINDS OR CROSS WINDS). THIS SEEMS NOTICEABLE TO THE PASSENGERS AS WELL. THE SWAYING HAPPENS IN RIGHT AS WELL AS LEFT DIRECTIONS. NO AMOUNT OF STEERING WHEEL CONTROL SEEMS TO COUNTER THIS. TIRE PRESSURES ARE ACCURATE TO SPECIFICATIONS AND THE CAR IS BRAND NEW. *TR
