Description of the problem | I have a total of two windshield cracks on my orange 2018 subaru crosstrek. The first occured in 05/23/2019. I was driving on mira mesa blvd in san diego approaching i-15 north ramp when a small rock flew a from cars tire and hit my windshield on the driver-side, lower portion near the wiper blades. I was driving the speed limit of 45 when this happened. The rock caused a small chip and two cracks. As i drove on the freeway to work, the crack began to propagate. I immediately called a windshield repair company and have them seal the crack to prevent it from spreading. Cost $75 the second occasion on 01/24/21 i was driving on the i-5 freeway near oceanside heading north. I was passing a truck when a dime size rock flew once again and hit my windshield. I was driving at 75 mph. This hit right on the driver-side around eye level to the driver. At this point, it seemed the windshield was weak so i'm getting it replaced. Costing me $400. This windshield is weak and i should have not have to replace or repair it at such a rapid rate. |
