Consumer Description
WINDSHIELD: THE OEM WINDSHIELD CRACKS EASILY AND MANUFACTURE WILL SAY NOT RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE IT'S NOT A "DEFECT", BUT THEY USED INFERIOR GLASS. CURRENTLY, I HAVE OVER 6 CRACKS AND EVERY TIME THE SMALLEST ITEM HITS IT, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKS. I'VE BEEN WITH NEW CAR DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 30YEARS AND OWNED MANY CARS AND NEVER HAD A WINDSHIELD CRACK SO EASILY. SMALL ROCKS WOULD HIT MY OTHER CARS AND JUST BOUNCE OFF, BUT NOT MY 2018 SUBARU LEGACY, AS I SAID AT "LEAST" 6 MARKS FROM ANYTHING HITTING MY WINDSHIELD IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO SEE, YET NO MARKS ON MY OTHER VEHICLE, WHICH IS A GM PRODUCT. TAKING A PICTURE IS TOO HARD TO SEE "ALL" THE SMALL CHIPS. I HAVEN'T REPLACED IT YET, HOPING A RECALL WOULD HAPPEN, OR SOMEONE WANTS TO LOOK AT ALL THE NICKS, SINCE I'VE OWNED IT NEW FROM 2018. THIS HAPPENS DRIVING SLOW, FAST, ANYWHERE A ROCK CAN FLY.
