| Description of the problem | I am an owner of of a 2015 subaru forester xt and i believe that i have a defective windshield. I noticed that there is a crack on my windshield that is about the size of a quarter after experiencing a small rock hitting my windshield on the highway. I would like to know if i am able to replace my windshield by subaru because i believe the quality of the windshield is faulty and a safety hazard. Thank you in advance.*dt consumer stated incident happened again on dec. 30th,2019 while driving to work and a rock hit which caused a indent on the windshield by a hairline crack.*jb |
