Description of the problem | Went to pick up my brand new 2015 outback from the dealer and they informed me the windshield was cracked. They will be replacing it, but this crack is identical to others described in many complaints. Crack started in the heated wiper element on the passenger side and is now about 12 inches in length. Subaru dealer said they believe it occurred in their car wash. Looking at other complaints, it is now obvious subaru 2015 outback windshields have a design flaw that should be addressed asap. |
