| Description of the problem | I parked my 2019 subaru touring trim car in my cousin's driveway on friday, nov 29, 2019. There was no damage to the windshield. I visited with him over lunch. I came back out to the car at about 3:00pm and on sitting in my driver's seat and looking out i immediately noticed a large crack in the windshield, starting from the glass edge under the trim, going up about 7 inches and then turning and going over about 7 more inches. I took it to the dealer on monday, december 2nd. They inspected the damage and said they had determined it wasn't something covered by warranty. Windshields, properly manufactured and properly installed, don't just crack! Integrity of the windshield is part of the crash protection for the vehicle so this is a safety hazard.
