| Description of the problem | My front windshield developed a spontaneous crack. It was cold outside and the car was parked in the driveway. When i started the car in the evening, i noticed a horizontal crack about 24" long, near the bottom of the windshield. The defroster was not on. This is my second forester and both windshields have developed the same spontaneous crack in the same place. |
