Traction Control System
On many occasions the vehicle's rear-end side-steps or oscillates on icy/snow-packed road conditions. This has also been described as "ghost-walking" where it feels like the awd system in the rear is over compensating, leading to the vehicle being uncontrollable. The behavior seems to happen in the 30-40mph range. Although, i prefer not to drive any faster than the road conditions allow, it can be very frightening…

Traction Control System
The car in snow or icy conditions does not hold a straight line and the rear walks out and begins swaying uncontrollably. In contrast to other cars that are actually passing me and not swaying. *tr

Traction Control System
I experience a side-to-side shake on icy road conditions. It is very unsettling to the car and is not simply road conditions. Fwd, rwd, and other awd vehicles are not having any trouble and i+m doing everything i can to stay on the road and am driving as much as 20 - 30 mph slower than the next slower car on the road. There is something wrong with the subaru outback vehicle dynamics on ice. *tr
