Consumer Description
2020 FORESTER. WINDSHIELD CRACKS. WITHIN A YEAR. ONE +1FT LONG CRACK RAN FROM BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER TO MID WINDSHIELD. WINDSHIELD REPLACED. CRACKED AGAIN, THIS TIME ABOUT 18INCH CRACK, STARTING IN LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER OF WINDSCREEN, RAPIDLY RAN INTO MID WINDSCREEN/WINDSHIELD DIRECTLY IN DRIVERS FIELD OF VIEW. THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED IN MY MULTI DECADE DRIVING EXPERIENCE. NEITHER THE OWNER, ME, NOR THE INSURANCE COMPANY SHOULD PAY FOR THIS. AND BECAUSE IT MIGRATES TO MID WINDSHIELD, IT IS A SIGNIFICANT DRIVING DISTRACTION, PARTICULARLY IN SOME SUN CONDITIONS.
