| Description of the problem | 6/2/15 morning i drove my 2015 subaru forester to work. The windshield was not hit by a rock or anything else, there was no crack or damage on the windshield. I parked it in the company's parking lot at 7 am. In the afternoon when i was ready to go home at 4 pm, i found a long crack on the windshield. It was too large to repair and it must be replaced. I have heated windshield with eyesight cameras, it would cost under $500 to replace the windshield. Vehicle is less than 6,000 miles and less than 6 months old, and i've got a cracked windshield before its first oil change. |
