| Description of the problem | We were driving our subaru outback with 1100 miles on it on the highway on sunday may 26, 2019 - there was not much traffic and no one was in front of us. We noticed a crack in our windshield and at first did not think it was a crack. When we got to our destination we looked at the windshield - only to find what was a 4 inch crack. Nothing hit the windshield it just cracked. The crack started on the passenger side of the windshield below the wiper blade (as others have stated also) at the present time the crack is about 18 inches and has gone from the passenger side of the windshield to the driver side and has taken a turn now back to the passenger side. Know that others have voiced similar problems with the subaru outback from 2019 as well as earlier years of the model. Feel as though subaru is responsible for this issue. |
