While driving on snowpacked dirt roads to town, I reached a straightaway where, unknown to me, ice had formed over the snow. Driving straight at 30-35 MPH, the back end suddenly began to track to the right. I turned the steering wheel to the right and pressed the gas pedal to correct, but this had no effect. I was unable to regain control, and the vehicle slid into the ditch, resulting in damage to the vehicle and minor injury to myself.

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 subaru outback. While driving 40 MPH, the rear of the vehicle began to sway from side to side. If the contact drove more than 40 MPH, the vehicle would fail again. The vehicle is currently being inspected by the dealer. The cause of the failure has not yet been determined. The manufacturer stated that there were no current recalls on the vehicle; therefore, no compensation would be provided. The failure and current mileages were 36,875.
