2001 Subaru Outback L.L.Bean review from North America
"The car is not safe"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
On the mountain road steering failed. It felt like if front tire blew out - car got into spin and got stuck in the dirt hill on the left side of the road. To my amusement all four tires were fine and there were only minor scratches on the bumper. As soon I get on the road again I notice my car does not have any steering at all- it was broken. I was lucky to stay alive. There are some major cliffs on that road.
General comments?
Tire rod is very week.
