Outback 4-cyl

  • 27,053 miles
My Subaru Outback 2018 windshield cracked again after just a few weeks into getting it previously replaced. The same thing happen as the previous time, a very small rock caused a huge crack to the windshield going at moderately slow speed entering the free way. Subaru replaced the first one free of charge because they knew an ongoing class action lawsuit was in place, but states that any further issues will be out of my pocket. The windshields that are being provided as replacements all have the same issues of cracking very easily.
