Consumer Description

ON AUGUST 30, I TRAVELED NORTH BOUND ON IH 35 TOWARDS AUSTIN AROUND 6:00PM. AS I APPROACHED MY DESTINATION, I NOTICED A CRACK THAT HAD STARTED IN THE BOTTOM, CENTER OF MY WINDSHIELD. I DIDN'T REMEMBER HEARING ANYTHING HIT MY WINDSHIELD, SO I WAS VERY SURPRISED I HAD A CRACK. I DID HAVE MY WINDSHIELD REPLACED AT SAFELIGHT ON OCTOBER 15, 2019 AND PAID $500 DEDUCTIBLE. NOW I AM READING ABOUT FAULTY WINDSHIELD LAWSUITS POPPING UP ON SUBARU VEHICLES
