Consumer Description

WHILE I WAS DRIVING I HEARD A POP, DID SEE OR NOTICE ANYTHING. NEXT DAY I HAD A CRACK IN MY DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD, ABOUT 8-10 INCHES CRACK. THOUGHT I HAD GLASS COVERAGE BUT ITS $1000 DEDUCTIBLE. SAFELITE COST IS $461.55. I HAVE THE 2015 SUBARU OUTBACK WITH EYESIGHT, THAT MEANS AFTER SAFELIGHT REPAIRS THE WINDSHIELD I THEN NEED TO BRING THE CAR TO MY SUBARU DEALER TO HAVE THE EYESIGHT RECALIBRATE FOR ABOUT $200. MY CAR ONLY HAS 8700 MILES. LOOKING AT OTHER COMMENTS, THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH 2015 SUBARU OUTBACKS. IF I HAD FULL GLASS COVERAGE I WOULD HAVE CARED OR WROTE ABOUT THIS. HOPE SUBARU FIXES THIS PROBLEM. THANKS AND HOPE EVERYONE STAYS SAFE. AFTER SEEING THE NOTE BELOW I WAS IN MOTION ON A 2 LANE STREET. I DO DRIVE FROM NY TO FLORIDA TWICE A YEAR AND DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO IF THIS HAPPENED ON A LONG TRIP. DOESN'T SEEM SAFE IF SUBARU HAS DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELDS
