| Description of the problem | Before i reached the 20k miles mark, i have already had to replace the windshield. It seems any small bead or rock causes the windshield on this model to shatter very easily. I have owned an older subaru model that i have driven through the same roads without any issue. Because of i-sight this windshield is extra expensive to replace and very difficult to repair if it is in the way of the i-sight cameras. $1,600 fix. |
