Description of the problem | Own a 2017 subaru forester, we have less than 11,000 miles and less than one year of ownership. A small stone hitting the windshield, quickly ends up in a 24" to 30" long linear crack unlike my other two vehicles. We are in process of replacing 3rd windshield glass in less than one year. It appears that there may be an oem defect. This long crack creates danger vision problem. Every windshield replacement requires re-calibration of eyesight too. This is an additional burden on insurance as well as owners and should be addressed asap. Manufacturer has not yet acknowledge the existence of defective windshield. We request that consumer product recall investigate this issue asap. |
