| Description of the problem | Bought a brand new 2019 forester in sept 2019. Its windshield cracked twice from a minor rock impact during highway driving at about 65 mph. In my previous 25 year of owning and driving other cars i have never had a windshield crack and having windshield crack twice in such short period (5 months of ownership) cannot be a coincidence, there has to be a flaw with subaru's windshield design or quality. Judging from the results of a google search, other owners have reported the same thing |
