| Description of the problem | 8/28/20-while pulling out of my garage, i noticed a reflection of a small pinpoint "chip" in my windshield, about 4 inches from the a pillar. Overnight the "chip" grew into a large horizontal, vertical and then horizontal crack that interferes with the driver's line-of-sight. The windshield had cracked previously on 1/2/20 and was replaced at a subaru dealership for over $1000. See nhtsa id number 11297463 filed on 1/6/20.. This is the 2nd cracked windshield in less than 9 months! |
