| Description of the problem | This is the second time in a year that our 2019 forester's windshield has suddenly cracked without being struck. Today we were driving and heard what sounded like a pop (picture when you pour cold water on hot glass) and watched our previously replaced windshield crack starting at the edge above the drivers side eyesight camera and travel to the center of the windshield. The car is 13 months old and has 10,500 miles. There were no other cars on the road or debris in the air, this is the second time that our windshield has spontaneously cracked from the drivers side edge toward the center, blocking the eyesight system. |
