| Description of the problem | In under 8 weeks my windshield has had 3 chips and finally it has cracked to the point where i have to have it replaced. After the 2nd chip i realized this was not bad luck but faulty product. I contacted my dealer & the subaru factory with no help. The first 3 chips happened when i was driving the 4th just warming up the car. I understand pebbles hit your windshield when driving but the 4th time it happened the car was stationary |
