Hi - I own a 2009 Forester 56K my windshield has a very big crack because of a pebble from a truck. This should not happen. I always believed this car had thin glass even though I know it is safety glass. I also own a Honda and it has thick glass and there is no holes in the windshield from pebbles. Have you had other complaints because I am complaining!
