| Description of the problem | Bought car in anchorage and windshield cracked on way back to my father's home in fairbanks. Dealership reported no known problems with subaru windshields, (which isn't apparently accurate). As of now, i'm living in colorado and there are a million cracks in the windshield (a slight exaggeration). I'm hesitant to replace it, if it's merely going to start the process of cracking windshields all over again. Windshields are not cheap to replace. |
