Legacy

The Subaru Legacy windshield is extremely brittle, small salt debris caused the windshield to have several chips all over the windshield, in all my years I've never seen windshields being this brittle. There are thousands of complaints on Subaru forums about windshields that have the eyesight equipped that they are prone to cracking and chipping easily. Recently Subaru lost a lawsuit about their windshield cracking on the 2015 and 2016 Subaru outbacks, I believe Subaru has not addressed this issue yet. While I was driving on the highway on my way to vacaville California my windshield ended up with at least dozens of chips all over my windshield. This is unacceptable because I've made this trip countless amount of times on my old car and never had this issue.

The drivers side mirror of 2018/2019 Legacy's with blind spot detection will not adjust out far enough to see blind spot of vehicle for seat position adjusted for average to tall drivers. While the mirror detection light works there is no way to physically confirm side traffic position. Dangerous, especially in congested multi-lane environments. It was determined that all mirrors at a dealership with blind spot dection has the same issue. This issue may exist for other years and models as well. Vehicles using mirrors wiithout blind spot detection function adequately.
