| Description of the problem | Going a very low rate of speed a small rock was able to crack my windshield. I was merging onto a highway with a work vehicle in front of me. The windshield appears to be very weak and brittle. I have not even had my forester for a year and it seems as if dinks and cracks appear very easily. I had safelite come to fill in the crack and only 80% was able to be corrected.. On a crack smaller than a sand dollar. Things constantly seem to be headed towards the windshield. I don't know who to file a complaint with, i fear subaru wouldn't care about what seems like a minor complaint. I am concerned about the potential of getting into a accident and my windshield raining over me. Or a small object blowing through my windshield. |
