| Description of the problem | Front windshield sustained a small chip in the upper area behind the rearview mirror and has subsequently turned into a huge crack extending across and down the passenger side. There was a previous class action lawsuit for the 15-16 outbacks regarding the windshield. The fact that the windshield is cracking this easily from a small chip leads me to believe that they did not fix the issues from the previous 15-16 model year windshield design. |
