| Description of the problem | A few weeks after purchasing my brand new 2019 subaru forester, i was driving on the expressway when all of a sudden my windshield cracked. There was no rock or any debris that flew towards my windshield. The crack started near the top of the windshield on the passenger side and angled down and toward the driver's side. It started at about 6 inches and progressed to at least a foot long by the end of the trip. |
