| Description of the problem | I have a 2019 subaru legacy purchased in summer 2019. It is currently 2021, and i am dealing with my 3rd cracked windshield. I have been overly cautious about staying far from trucks, dirty vehicles, large vehicles and just generally keeping distance after the first time the windshield cracked. Despite all my efforts, i still ended up with a cracked windshield yet again. It is a serious safety issue, and i cannot continue to spend hundreds of dollars on regular windshield issues. This is while i am proactively trying to avoid this issue. 1st windshield crack was july 2019 - a rock hit my windshield 2nd windshield crack was september 2019 - just noticed a crack one morning, nothing actually hit my windshield to my knowledge. 3rd windshield crack was february 2021 - again, noticed a crack in the windshield in the afternoon, no noticeable impact occurred. |
