| Description of the problem | I went to my stationary vehicle in a. M. And noticed the windshield had a long crack with no apparent reason. No nicks or other damage noted that could cause this to happen. I didn't even make the first payment on the vehicle before this occurred. After calling numerous aftermarket windshield companies the only windshield you can get is the oem if you want the eyesight cameras to work and you must have the eyesight camera recalibrate by the dealership. After reading all these windshield complaints i wonder how many similar windshield issues have occurred that have not been reported on nhtsa? Just google 2019 subaru forester defective windshield. This issue is to wide spread. |
