| Description of the problem | I bought a 2016 subaru outback on march 5th, 2016. After two weeks i took a trip down to atlanta and back to knoxville, tn. I was driving on i-75 and going 70mph. I heard no sound nor did i see a rock or debris hit my windshield, but all of a sudden i saw a crack appear. Within an hour of home this crack grew from about 3 inches to 5 inches. I called subaru of america and all they told me was 'cracks happen.' |
