| Description of the problem | Windshield cracked when turned on defroster. Inspection by dealership verified crack was not due to any outside force. Subaru has extended warranty for defective windshield cracks on outback & legacy models, but has not responded to my request for replacement of defective windshield on my forester. Windshield crack started at bottom of passenger side windshield & extended about 12 inches upwards toward center of windshield. The crack has continued to extend towards the center and is now about 24 inches in length. See: http://beranek. Agrrmag. Com/2015/12/subaru-extends-windshield-warranty/#. Wlhqbcfxrlk. Email |
