| Description of the problem | 2019 subaru outback purchased in october 2019. I have experienced cracked a windshield 3 times. I've had 3 new windshieds replaced. My first windshield replacement was 2 months after purchase. Two weeks later, that windshield cracked and was replaced. About 8 months later, that windshield cracked and i had it replaced last december. I drove for about 3 months as it slowly cracked across the whole windshield. Then it was no longer safe to drive it. The first time the windshield cracked, i was driving and the dealer said a little rock had hit it. All 3 times, the point of impact was pointed out to me. They were very tiny spots on the windshield. While driving, i was not aware that anything had hit the windshield. I flinch every time an automobile or truck passes me on roads or the freeway i am so afraid that some little bit of debris will hit the windshield and crack it once again. I've replaced three windshields in about 13 months. |
