| Description of the problem | While driving on the access road at around 38mph. A rock hit the windshield and caused a 8inch crack at the lower part of drivers side and goes up into drivers visibility. I have have owned a subaru in the past and have had several windshield incidents and never seen this happen or severe. I fear that their is a defect in the windshield and spoke with subaru and they are unwilling to repair it or take action to the safety of my vehicle. |
