| Description of the problem | While driving under normal highway conditions in fair weather, a large crack appeared in the windshield on the drivers side, starting at the bottom near the wiper, and extending approximately 10-12 inches curving up and toward the center of the windshield. There was no apparent impact or noise prior to the crack appearing. The crack compromises subaru's eye-sight safety feature as well as the integrity of the windshield in general, creating a significant safety hazard for the vehicle occupant(s). I have filed a claim with aaa pending service with subaru which is scheduled on 01/13/20 (attached confirmation from aaa) |
