Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 SUBARU OUTBACK ON THE HIGHWAY, NORTHBOUND INTERSTATE 280, IN WOODSIDE, CALIFORNIA, ON MAY 27, 2016. SUDDENLY I SAW A SMALL CRACK ON MY WINDSHIELD THAT GREW TO ABOUT 6 INCHES IN A FEW SECONDS, STARTING FROM THE WIPERS, AT THE BOTTOM AND A BIT TOWARDS THE DRIVER SIDE AND GOING UP THEN CURVING TOWARDS THE RIGHT, IN AN L SHAPE. BY THE NEXT MORNING THE HORIZONTAL PART OF THE CRACK HAD EXPANDED AT LEAST 12 INCHES MORE. I DID NOT HEAR THE NOISE OF IMPACT OF A STONE OR ANY OTHER OBJECT.
