Description of the problem | 2 years, 35000 miles into owning new 2015 outback, my windshield developed an 8 inch long crack originating from the bottom driver's side. This appeared while parked outside my workplace, with no known windshield impacts driving. Consequently, i replaced the windshield using safelite, matching the windshield type via vin. Only 2 months after replacement, another crack developed originating from the bottom passenger side edge, and quickly spread 3/4 of the way across the bottom. Again, no impacts were witnessed to the windshield while driving. I have no confidence in replacing the windshield again, as it likely will crack in the same manner sooner or later. |
