| Description of the problem | On september 23, 2019 at about 1 pm mst i was driving north on arizona route 89, just north of the rt 64 intersection. I was on a divided section of paved highway traveling at no more than 40 miles per hour. There were no other cars ahead of me and none on the other side of the highway when i heard a pop in my front windshield and a crack appeared about a third of the way up on the driver's side. When i stopped later to examine the windshield i could see no evidence of anything striking the glass. There was no debris on the highway. The pavement was in good condition. The crack expanded horizontally across the window. I had the window replaced at the greeley subaru dealer on friday september 27. |
