| Description of the problem | I have had this vehicle almost 1 year. The windshield got a chip and small "spidering" happened - photo 1. Then i was driving in the rain and a rock, i'm assuming, dinged the windshield. Didn't notice anything but it was raining. The next morning i look at the windshield and there is a big crack - photo 2. To replace this, because of eyesight, is approx. $2000! No windshield should be this sensitive. There is a problem!! My 2 previous subarus, 2012 impreza and 2013 forester weathered rock chips like total troopers! This ascent, not so much! |
