GTWaggin

My 2006 GT wagon, 160,000 miles needs a new radiator, head gaskets, blendor, and possible heater core. Any good shops that know these cars? I've used the dealer (Hodges) up till now. Thanks!

exactly it isn't an oversteer issue or even really the feeling of loosing forward traction, it is an oscillating wiggle in the rear of the car.

 

I like how everyone just assumes it's bad driving. No one is saying 'my car keeps sliding into a ditch when I try to pass people doing 80 mph on a icy road'.

I bought my 2006 GT Wagon new. I have always run a set of winter wheel/tires. I have NEVER had a problem UNTIL this past winter. My car felt completely loose on an icy I-75 heading north here in Michigan. It felt so unstable at low freeway speeds, that I replaced the tires when I got home. I experienced the same problem on icy roads, with the new Blizzaks. Something has changed. I will have the rear end parts checked out, and an alignment done in hopes of solving the issue. The Ghostwalking thread in the Outback.org, was like hearing that someone else had my rare disease, and I wasn't crazy.

Thanks for the tip!

Radio went out, dealer replaced the antenna amp, and not fixed. (they didn't even check the radio after replacing the part. I found the fix on the Outback forum. Indeed, a broken antenna wire under the left boot. New wire spliced in, and radio fixed. Now to figure out how to feed it through the boot, like factory.
