NHTSA complaint #11175106

Owner complaint summary

I WAS EMAILING ABOUT MY CONCERN FOR MY 2019 OUTBACK AND THE ONGOING ISSUES WITH THE WINDSHIELD. I HAD AN ISSUE WHERE MY WINDSHIELD WAS STRUCK WITH SOME SMALL DEBRIS AND CAUSED A CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD. A WEEK LATER IT CRACKED SEVERELY ON THE BOTTOM PASSENGER SIDE. TWO WEEKS' AFTER, A SMALL PEBBLE HIT THE TOP PASSENGER SIDE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND CAUSED A PIT. A WEEK AFTER THAT ISSUE IT ALSO CRACKED SEVERELY WHERE THE SECOND HIT OCCURRED. I AM AWARE OF THE CLASS ACTION ISSUE FOR FRONT WINDSHIELDS FROM 2016 TO 2017 FOR OUTBACK'S. IS THIS AN ONGOING PROBLEM? IF SO HOW CAN YOUR COMPANY CLAIM TO THE SAFEST VEHICLE ON THE ROAD IF THE WINDSHIELD CONTINUES TO HAVE ISSUES. I HAVE A BABY ON THE WAY IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND NOW I DOUBT THE SAFETY OF MY CHOICE. I NOW HAVE TO USE MY INSURANCE, MY MONEY AND TAKE TIME OUT OF MY BUSYNESS TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I HAVE HAD MANY CARS IN MY LIFETIME AND HAD VARYING AMOUNTS OF ITEMS HIT THE WINDSHIELD ON THE FREEWAY AND NEVER HAD A CRACK HAPPEN. I WAS BEHIND A CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE AND HAD A LARGE AMOUNT OF TAR CHUNKS AND ROCKS HIT MY NISSAN ALTIMA. IT HAD SOME CHIPS IN THE WINDSHIELD BUT NEVER CRACKED. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR LESS THAN 3 MONTHS WITH LESS THAN 2000 MILES ON IT AND ALREADY SEVERE CHIPS AND CRACKS IN MY WINDSHIELD? THE GLASS COMPANY THAT WAS USED MUST BE ALLOWING INFERIOR PRODUCTS TO BE SOLD. I WANT TO KNOW HOW I CAN BE COMPENSATED FOR MY TIME AND AGUISH AND HOW YOUR COMPANY CAN FIX THIS ONGOING ISSUE? THE GLASS ON THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY QUALITY ISSUES AS IT HAS NOT SEEN ANY ROAD TIME OR WEAR ALONG WITH SUN DEGRADATION. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY THE QUALITY OF THE GLASS IS OF SUCH POOR RESISTANCE? THIS EMAIL THAT I WROTE ABOVE WAS SEND TO SUBARU OF AMERICA
