2005 Subaru Outback suspension problems

“There should be a recall for front suspension on this vehicle if not the entire suspension. Mine has been garage kept since day 1, is in showroom condition, not driven in salt on roads during snow, therefore no reason for the suspension to be in this condition. In 2019 at 74,000 miles I had to have the entire front end suspension all components replaced at a cost of over $2,500 USD the suspension was also causing what others refer to as "drifting" under any road driving conditions on dry or wet pavement at any speed above 30mph and would and still does after having the entire suspension replaced, drift, unstable, and when the original suspension was replaced even after being flawlessly maintained the suspension components from the factory were severely worn and including rubber gaskets, sway bars, etc and appeared to have a rust or corroded appearance in spite of the vehicle never being driven in weather during snow when most areas would place salt on roads which is a primary cause of rust or corrosion. The factory suspension also caused significant wear to any tires this causing any tires to wear uneven and require replacement within less than 15kmi. After…”

“DRIVING IN LIGHT SNOW OR MIXTURE OF SLUSHY SNOW THE VEHICLE REAR DRIFTS LEFT AND RIGHT AT SPEEDS OF 20 MPH. DANGEROUS IF THE SPEED IS EXCEEDED. CAR PASS ME ALL THE TIME BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT PROBLEMS WITH THE ROAD AT HIGH SPEEDS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS CALLED GHOST WALKING. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I SPUN OUT.”

“ON ANY WET OR SNOWY PAVEMENT CAR IS GHOST WALKING, LIKE THE REAR END HAS MARBLES UNDER IT. SPEED OF 35 MPH, STRAIGHT DRIVING, ON WET PAVEMENT. LIKE A CAT WALKING ON ITS NAILS.TERRIFIED. HAD ALIGNMENT, NEW TIRES, NEW REAR STRUTS, SWAY BAR, TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS. DISABLED ABS SO AT LEAST I CONTROL BRAKING”

“WHILE DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES LIKE ICE AND SNOW, THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN SWAYING LEFT AND RIGHT UNCONTROLLABLY. THE SENSATION, ALSO KNOWN AS "GHOST WALKING" COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE DRIVER CAN NOT CONTROL THE SWAYING, AND SPINNING OUT. CONDITIONS OF PROBLEM: DRIVING DURING WINTER CONDITIONS, ON SNOWY ROADS AND HIGHWAYS. THE VEHICLE IS FINE UNDER DRY/NORMAL CONDITIONS. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE STEMS FROM THE AWD SYSTEM.”

“WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON JUNE 21, 2017 WITH A DISHWASHER IN THE TRUNK. IT WAS RAINING AND THERE WAS TRAFFIC, SO MY SPEED WAS ABOUT 40 MPH. AS I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR ABRUPTLY SWERVED FROM RIGHT TO LEFT, AND I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR. THIS WAS MY SCARIEST DRIVING EXPERIENCE .”

“REAR SUSPENSION ISSUES CAUSE UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING FROM THE REAR END ON SNOW AND ICE. CAR REFUSES TO DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON SNOW/ICE EVEN WITH SNOW TIRES AND PROPER ALIGNMENT.”
