| Description of the problem | Within a month of buying a brand new subaru legacy 2015, my windshield spontaneous cracked while driving on an open-air interstate away from other cars. At first i thought maybe a pebble hit the windshield, but upon later inspection i could not find a distinct starting point for the crack in the windshield crack (no dents or places where something might have hit my car). The crack initiated from the very bottom of the middle of the windshield and extended about 6-8 inches from the bottom of the windshield. |
