I have a 2008 Subaru Outback equipped with good winter tires. At highway speeds on winter roads my car is extremely unstable. For no apparent reason the rear end of the car starts to sway and I am only able to bring it under control by bringing down my speed, and I end up traveling much slower then the traffic flow. My brother in law has the same car and experiences this problem as well with his vehicle. There is a design and engineering flaw with this car and Subaru needs to comes to grips with it and come up with a solution. This car is unsafe on slick winter roads.
