| Description of the problem | Windshield has spontaneously cracked four different times since purchase in september 2018. Windshield has been replaced three times to date. Each time damage appears to start near the bottom of the glass, then spiders out. It is not clear that road debris or any other external force caused the cracking. This is a known defect and should be corrected by subaru with a re-designed part. Sending the same windshield over and over does not fix the inherent problem. Your form does not allow for multiple incidences of the same problem over time. Please see attached documents. Are you working with subaru to correct this problem? |
