| Description of the problem | Purchased 2019 subaru forester on 12/12/18. Within 1 month of purchase the windshield cracked while driving and nothing had got it to damage it. Because of a 500+ windshield backorder in the us and out of the country there was no idea as to when they would become available due to the cracks and not being able to safely see the rd to drive i had to make several attempts to subaru for them to cover the cost of a rental vehicle. At this time and within that 1st month i said to subaru management at donaldson subaru i want to trade back my vehicle for a different subaru. Just replaced windshield again in 9/2019 |
