| Description of the problem | Husband was driving home after graveyard work shift, with no other cars on the highway, when he heard a crack. He noticed a crack coming from under the windshield wipers in the middle of the front windshield, closer to the driver side. He did have the defroster on. The next day the crack had spread and 2 more cracks appeared on the windshield. We called the dealer and notified them and they said warranty does not cover that since we didn't purchase additional warranty, and it is not a factory defect that they are aware of. It is a new 2019 subaru forester. |
