| Description of the problem | I purchased the vehicle new in february 2015 and my windshield has required replacement three times. The slightest impact (e. G.: a small piece of gravel common on roadways) to the windshield results in huge cracks impeding my vision. The windshield does not simply chip; it always instantly cracks and requires replacement. I have replaced more windshields on this vehicle than all other vehicles i have ever owned combined. Because i have the subaru eyesight system, i am required to replace with factory glass which is usually on back-order; this glass is clearly defective. |
