NHTSA Complaint #11413859 — 2018 SUBARU FORESTER

IN UNDER TWO YEARS, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD ON MY VEHICLE TWICE. THE FIRST TIME, A ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD WHICH CAUSED A VERY SMALL CHIP. THE FOLLOWING AFTERNOON, THE CHIP HAD BECOME A LARGE CRACK THE CAME DOWN FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD NEARLY HALFWAY DOWN THE WINDSHIELD. I PAID THE EXTRA MONEY TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WITH OEM GLASS. MORE RECENTLY (LESS THAN 1.5 YEARS LATER), THE WIPER BLADES ON MY WINDSHIELD WERE REPLACED. THE ONE WIPER BLADE WOULD NOT LET GO AND THE BLADE CAME BACK DOWN ON THE WINDSHIELD WITH THE SPRING. NO MARKS WERE OBSERVED IN THE WINDSHIELD. THE FOLLOWING AFTERNOON, A CRACK CAME UP FROM THE BLADE AND RAN ACROSS NEARLY 1/3 OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE DATE RECORDED IS FOR THE SECOND INCIDENT.
