| Description of the problem | ***windshield cracked*** just like many others that reported the same. The windshield cracked standing in the garage. Started from all the way on the bottom and arched over to the middle of the windshield and so far it has stopped spreading. There is no sign or impact from any rocks or debris. Just a solid line. I hope subaru will live up to this and replace the windsield and calibrate the eye sight under full warranty. Car has 12k and had it since feb. 2019. There is a lawsuit currently pending on this issue and it stated to file a complaint here. I bought this car because of how safe they claim it is. Now i have a new born and i dont know if this car is as safe as it claims to be due to this faulty windshield. |
