problem #2

Feb 122018

Forester

  • 7,700 miles
While driving Subaru Forester 2017, a small rock hit the windshield and small crack quickly turned into 24" to 30" long linear crack and as a result ended up replacing wind shield glass and re-calibration of eyesight. This happened twice in last 8 months. It appears to be an oem issue. Unlike my other two vehicles, they had similar issue however the crack was shield by professionals and never developed linear crack.

problem #1

Forester

  • 15,750 miles
The windshield spontaneously cracked, middle passenger side (not aware when it happened. One time came out into the garage and noticed it was cracked). It also was severely chipped one time before (2500 miles). So it has had to be replaced 2 times within 16,000 miles and less than one year ownership.
