| Description of the problem | The first windshield from manufacturer was replaced because of a chip which developed into a foot of crack overnight. Within a week, the cracks went in different directions. Even the car was stationed for days (quarantine), the cracks were still developing. The windshield was replaced and installed a new one by subaru on july 16th. It was chipped a week later driving under 45 mph. Again, the chip became a 5-inch curvy crack overnight. The next day, the new crack developed and different cracks appeared within 3 days. The slightest impact with any object causes the windshield to crack easily and immediately. It has become a severe safety concern. |
