I thought I was the only one w/ this 'wandering' problem until I found this web site. I've been trying to get my dealer to acknowledge there's a problem for the past 2 years but they just keep telling me everything is operating w/in specifications. Though I finally had a test drive with the mechanic recently and he did notice the central steering column was not 'centered' (ie. if I lined up the steering wheel to what I would consider 'center' the wheels would be turned off center). If anyone has found a solution or even an acknowledgement that this is a real problem from Subaru I'd love to hear about it.

This issue have been called Stiff, heavy, hard, not return to center steering.

I have owned over 20+ cars ranging from 4Runners, S2000, to Lancer EVO. My 2013 Outback is by far the hardest car to steer on the highway. If dealer or independent can't fix it, I might trade it in for another 2014 Forester (Made in Japan).

I already own a 2014 Forester XT. The steering feel is 1000 times better than my 2013 Outback 2.5i Premium.
