| Description of the problem | Windshield cracked without any object impact. Crack started at the bottom passenger side. Same location as listed in a class action suit for 2015 and early model 2016 cars. Vehicle was in motion on city streets at about 35mph when i heard the noise. I did not notice the crack until later in the day, as it was very low on the windscreen and was not visible from the drivers position in the car. The crack has since spread across and up the windscreen. Subaru of america has denied my request for a repair and i will be doing so at my own expense later today. |
