Description of the problem | Bought the 2017 subaru forester eyesigh brand new in 2017. 2 weeks later front windshield chipped and cracked. Got it replaced. And now another chipped. This is cheap thin poorly made windshield even the dealer parts person said so. 1st time...... This is all happened freeway driving. Out of nowhere. All i heard a debris hit the windshield got to work parked. By the time i get off work..... Theres a big long cracked across the bottom windshield. And 2nd time same thing happened while going to work. Same thing happened. But this time i called the dealership. Told them what happened, and i got the windshield replacement warranty. No luck, told me they only can do repair smaller then a quarter. So i called, they said only can repair no replacement. Fill in the cracked. So. So far. This gonna be my 1st and last subaru. Nothing but headache dealing with the dealers. Windshield replacnemt is not cheap. Its about $$1200 |
