| Description of the problem | In the course of driving around our area, my wife & i parked our new 2015 subaru legacy for an hour to do some shopping. When we got back to the car, we couldn't help but notice a crack on the passenger side front windshield, where there hadn't been one before. We drove immediately to our local subaru dealer, where they noticed a very small ding just below the right windshield wiper, with the aforementioned crack coming from the ding. From my personal experience of close to 50 years of driving, this is the first ever non-crash windshield problem i've had that's had a progressive crack, and this is a brand new car! I'm reading that i'm not the only one with this problem! |
