Consumer Description

I LEASED A 2020 SUBARU LEGACY, AND THE WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND PARKED AT MY HOME. THE WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT IN THE DRIVERS LINE OF SIGHT ON THE MORNING OF AUGUST 21, 2020. THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO CHIP, CRACK OR NOTICEABLE DEFECT IN THE WINDSHIELD FROM WHICH THE CRACK COULD HAVE ORIGINATED. I PARKED THE CAR ON THE EVENING OF AUGUST 20TH AND ON THE MORNING OF AUGUST 21ST THE WINDSHIELD CRACK ACROSS THE WIDTH OF THE WINDSHIELD APPEARED. WHILE SEARCHING OUT A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THIS STRANGE OCCURRENCE, I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS SUBARU OWNERS WHICH HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE TO SUBARU AND SEVERAL HAVE JOINED A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE AFFECTED AREA OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVERS FIELD OF VISION AND LIGHT GET REFLECTED INTO THE DRIVERS EYE'S DURNING DAYLIGHT DRIVING HOURS.
