| Description of the problem | I've owned my 2019 subaru legacy for exactly one month. Yesterday, while driving on route 13 in delaware, i saw a crack spread from the outside right side of the windshield on the passenger side of the card and spread for about 15 inches sort of in the shape of an "s". Neither myself nor the passenger sitting in the front seat heard anything hit the car nor did we see anything. I took the car to the subaru dealership this morning and i was told that something very tiny hit the windshield. How could something that tiny cause that kind of damage? I am still unable to see the impact. The subaru windshields must be paper thin. I was informed by the service clerk that there was nothing that subaru could do to help. I am extremely disappointed in their response. |
