| Description of the problem | I have experienced 2 cracks in my windshield in the 1st 10 months of ownership. Both instances occurred while i was driving on a highway. I heard a loud noise and later noticed that a crack appeared on my windshield. In our previous 30 years of driving, neither my wife nor i have experienced any windshield cracks and we believe that the windshield provided with our 2019 subaru forester (purchased new) is defective. |
