| Description of the problem | Windshield cracked while sitting in a parking area. There was a small chip in the deicer area where the crack began. However, it appears the strike was minor and would have been easily repaired before spreading. Already had one chip repaired for another minor strike. Windshield appears to be excessively fragile which could result in a major safety problem. Dealer is willing to repair, but i am concerned about the quality of glass being used in the subaru. |
