Consumer Description

2017 SUBARU OUTBACK LIMITED WITH EYESITE SAFETY CAMERAS/DRIVER ASSIST. WINDSHIELD CRACKED OVERNIGHT JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY NOSED UP TO THE GARAGE. NO CRACK WHEN I LEFT WORK TO HEAD HOME. NOTHING HIT WINDSHIELD ON THE WAY HOME. IF YOU'VE HAD A ROCK OR PEBBLE HIT YOU'RE WINDSHIELD, BELIEVE ME, YOU KNOW IT! SCARES THE CRAP OUT YOU. NOTHING LIKE THAT AT ALL HAPPENED. NEXT MORNING I GET IN CAR TO HEAD TO WORK AND THERE'S A LONG CRACK COMING UP FROM THE VERY BOTTOM TO ABOUT EYE HEIGHT AND THEN TURNS INWARD TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE GLASS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AROUND OR ON THE CAR. THERE ARE NO KIDS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD EITHER. MY GARAGE IS ABOUT 200' FROM THE STREET WHERE THE CAR WAS PARKED. SMALL TOWN RESIDENTIAL ROAD TO A DEAD END, VERY, VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC. I HAVE A 2011 SUBARU OUTBACK WITH 103K MILES, AND THAT HAS HAD NO ISSUES WITH CRACKS IN THE WINDSHIELD. STILL HAS ITS ORIGINAL GLASS.
