Description of the problem | We came out to find a 6-8 inch crack line emanating from the top right passenger side one morning. We drove it 5 miles after that and when we came out it had travelled at a 45 degree angle towards the middle of the windshields driver side. By the time we got home it had moved halfway through the glass and ended in a "j" at the middle of the windshield. This will be my third windshield replacement! The first was a recall. The second replacement was from the teeniest ping from a car on the freeway and now this is the third replacement! This is my first subaru. We have always bought toyota in the past. I remember one incident on the freeway from a truck hitting the rav 4 and it was an isolated hole that we could have filled, not replaced! Do i really have to have a new windshield every year?! This is ridiculous. I e-mailed subaru three days ago and have had no response. |
