NHTSA Complaint #11343385 — 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK

THE FIRST WINDSHIELD FROM MANUFACTURER WAS REPLACED BECAUSE OF A CHIP WHICH DEVELOPED INTO A FOOT OF CRACK OVERNIGHT. WITHIN A WEEK, THE CRACKS WENT IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. EVEN THE CAR WAS STATIONED FOR DAYS (QUARANTINE), THE CRACKS WERE STILL DEVELOPING. THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED AND INSTALLED A NEW ONE BY SUBARU ON JULY 16TH. IT WAS CHIPPED A WEEK LATER DRIVING UNDER 45 MPH. AGAIN, THE CHIP BECAME A 5-INCH CURVY CRACK OVERNIGHT. THE NEXT DAY, THE NEW CRACK DEVELOPED AND DIFFERENT CRACKS APPEARED WITHIN 3 DAYS. THE SLIGHTEST IMPACT WITH ANY OBJECT CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD TO CRACK EASILY AND IMMEDIATELY. IT HAS BECOME A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN.
