| Description of the problem | My complaint may not be valid but i though it appropriate since many others are having windshield problems with their 2018/19 subaru foresters. I had a small rock bounce of the windshield while driving at 35mph on aug 1,2019 and now the shield is spider webbed with two long cracks and two smaller cracks. From my readings online, it appears that people with these models are having to replace their windshields at unusual rates. Of course you cannot predict what a rock to the shield will do, but i do know from experience that driving these same roads and conditions for 20years with two other vehicles, that i have only had to replace two windshields. Just my two cents and after this replacement we shall see how long the next shield lasts. |
