Description of the problem | I purchased my 2017 outback brand new from the dealership in 2017 and in the three years of owning it, i have had to replace the windshield 3 times. I have never had a car where the windshield appears to crack for no reason or by the slightest touch of loose gravel. Each time the windshield cracks i have been in motion, on a highway going speeds of about 60mph. The crack will start small and then spread very rapidly within a matter of minutes, thus making it impossible to get the crack filled before it spreads. |
