Description of the problem | Front windshield on our 2019 subaru forester limited cracked in 2 separate events within one month of ownership. The first event (front windshield crack) occurred on the initial drive home from the dealership. The vehicle was in motion on the highway (normal driving conditions) when the crack occurred spontaneously for no apparent reason. The crack began from the passenger's side edge of the windshield and stretched toward the center of the windshield. Photo attached. The second event (front windshield crack) occurred approximately 3 weeks later before the windshield was repaired. The vehicle was in motion on the highway (normal driving conditions) when the crack occurred spontaneously for no apparent reason. The crack began from the top of the windshield (middle) and stretched toward the center of the windshield. Photo attached. After the second event the front windshield was replaced. Invoice receipt attached. In my opinion, the front windshield grass on this vehicle was defective and the windshield's on this particular make/model should be further researched. Something is clearly wrong and i'm sure others are experiencing similar issues. |
