| Description of the problem | I purchased my 2019 subaru outback on november 23, 2019. On february 15, 2020 on a cold winter morning i was driviing to work and turned on the defrost to high and the windshield just cracked. Currently, the crack has traveled from end to end on the windshield. The cost to replace it is around $ 800. I feel that subaru needs to take responsibility because this issue is occurring way too often. It seems that the windshields are too thin. My vehicle is equipped with the eyesight system. |
