Consumer Description

ON THE HIGHWAY DURING A ROAD TRIP, A TINY ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND CRACKED PART OF IT. OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT 24 HOURS THE CRACK GREW IN TWO DIRECTIONS RAPIDLY. THIS FORCED ME TO HAVE TO GET A COMPLETE WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT ONLY 1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE. LOOKING ONLINE, THIS SOUNDS LIKE A VERY WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH SUBARU WINDSHIELDS THAT ARE EASILY CRACKED.
