Consumer Description
2015 OUTBACK, OWNED LESS THAN A YEAR. A SMALL PEBBLE HIT THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING ON I-25 SOUTH OF PUEBLO, CO. THIS CREATED A DIME SIZE STARBURST PATTERN AT THE IMPACT SIGHT. MINUTES LATER A 12 INCH+ CRACK DEVELOPED. THE CRACK CONTINUED TO EXPAND TO ALMOST THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD DURING THE THE DRIVE TO TX. THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 65 DEGREES SO THE WINDSHIELD WASN'T IN FREEZING CONDITIONS. THE PEBBLE IMPACT WAS NOTHING OF NOTE AND HARDLY GOT OUR ATTENTION. IN 4 DECADES OF DRIVING AND HAVEN TAKEN MANY ROCKS TO THE WINDSHIELD OF DIFFERENT MAKES OF VEHICLES I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS RESULT.
