Your subaru lanekeeping doesn't try to murder you? On a freeway or other uninterrupted left line, be in the leftmost lane. Start passing a semi trailer. The car wants to hug the middle, as usual, but I steer slightly to the left to be safe. After passing the truck, release grip slightly on the wheel.

Car Immedialy swerves into the right lane. At whatever speed you're going.

Our Subaru doesn't have lane change, so this is a fucking horrific bug that will kill someone by putting them under a semi.

I can repro this at most speeds on any road that meets the above condition.

Yes, I know the issue you're talking about. The fix I've found is to always maintain the same grip on the wheel. If you want to change it up then yank the wheel a bit to let it know you're there and then do so.

I'm surprised it got implemented in such a manner.

When i let go of the steering wheel in any other car, the car nose straightens out to be in line with the tail.

The fix won't come until after a massive lawsuit. I just wish it counted under lemon laws.
