Subaru Outback Steering Safety Report | Aug 01, 2012
Reported on Aug 01, 2012
| STEERING ISSUE. THE CAR WANDERS, LEFT AND RIGHT. AT FREEWAY SPEED YOU MUST HOLD ON WITH BOTH HANDS AND MAKE CONSTANT CORRECTIONS. THE DEALER VERIFIED THAT EVERYTHING IN THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION WAS TIGHT, BUT THIS DID NOT HELP THE PROBLEM. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A YEAR NOW WITH NO CHANGE, EXCEPT I'VE LEARNED HOW TO CONTROL IT BETTER. I FOUND MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET AND GAVE THESE TO THE DEALER. THEY DID NOT SEEM TO BE AWARE OF THE ISSUE PREVIOUSLY. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE JUST TWICE, AND HAVE HAD THEM LOOK AT THE ISSUE BOTH TIMES. I WAS HOPING THERE WOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX WHATEVER THE UNDERLYING ISSUE IS. THIS IS MY SECOND OUTBACK (PREVIOUS WAS A 2005) AND MY THIRD SUBARU (I ALSO HAVE A 2009 IMPREZA). *TR | |
