| Description of the problem | A crack on the windshield suddenly appeared while driving on highway with no other vehicles around. The crack was 8" long and started near the bottom corner on the driver's side. After parking it overnight, the crack spread across half the windshield. When we had the windshield replaced, safelite could not find any evidence of a cause, no chips or evidence of a rock hitting it. Even with the extended "gold" warranty, subaru would not cover the replacement. |
