| It's been rather cold here the past couple days (single digits, -20 wind chill). i was sitting in my 2001 outback yesterday evening letting it warm up. i turned on the defroster, windshield wiper defroster included. after a few minutes, i actually watched the windshield crack from both ends of the defroster element! when i got home i checked it out further. the crack extends the full length of the defroster element on the windshield. there was no impact of any kind. as this is obviously unsafe, i am having to pay $300 for a windshield replacement. this appears to be an ongoing issue with the subaru outbacks. i feel that this is a defective component and a major safety risk. though the glass may not blow in, the shatter while driving down the expressway at 65 mph would certainly cause a major accident. *jb | |||
