| Description of the problem | I have a 2015 subaru legacy with 6000 miles on it. On dec 8th, 2015, i took it to the dealer for routine service, i. E. Oil change filter, tire rotation, system checks and fluid levels, etc. I waited for the car. I was told to come back and look at the windshield in the service bay. I was told that there was a crack (horseshoe shaped) around the center top of the windshield. The crack was not there when i brought it in because i had the car washed and i wiped off the windows myself prior to going up to the dealers. I would have noticed the crack. There is no ding or star shape mark that i can see on the window. It looks to me like the crack started on the inside around the rear view mirror area. I have read quite a few reports of unexplained cracks in legacy and outbacks. 2015 models. It appears to be a windshield defect. I'm waiting for them to get back to me about replacing the windshield. They better not give me a hard time because i am their worst nightmare. The dealership that i went to is a reputable dealer, i just hope they do the right thing. *dt |
