| Description of the problem | My vehicle eats windshields. They seem to crack with the lightest tap from road debris or, in one instance, for absolutely no reason at all (while driving out of an underground parking garage). I have replaced 2 windshields in the past 4 months, and subaru keeps saying it is due to impacts (even when no impact occurred). It seems that this is a common occurrence, despite subaru denying it. |
