| Description of the problem | Windsheild- the materials used for the windshield in this vehicle are substandard. I leased the vehicle on 4/18/2017 and it is now 10/24/2017 and my windsheild has cracked twice. The first time it cracked i had it replaced right away. This time i decided to wait a week or so to see if it would continue to have issues the windshield has now cracked in three different places. I have not changed my driving habits and my previous vehicles have never had this issue. I did some online research and spoke to some other subaru owners and this is a known issue with newer outbacks and legacy models. It is unacceptable for subaru to sell these obviously faulty windshields to the public i have made complaints to the subaru dealer and i just get the response that there is nothing they can do except replace the windshield at full retail cost. |
