Description of the problem | While driving approximately 35 mph in my new 2020 subaru outback with about 2200 miles on a freshly slurry-coated road i saw a small pebble sized object tossed in the air by the oncoming traffic and land just inside the edge of the driver side windshield. There was a sharp pop - like a . 22 - and a 4 inch crack appeared. I continued to drive home and the crack appeared to be stable. I parked the car and got some rest. 9 hours later i went outside and found the crack had progressed to the center of my windshield. When i came upon this site i decided to document the incident in an effort to warn others that this is not an isolated incident and subaru should be taking this seriously. |
