The lawsuit against Subaru's crappy windshields will move forward after partially surviving the automaker's motion to dismiss. The windhsields crack and chip at an alarming rate, but Subaru doesn't cover replacements under warranty if the issue is due to a defect. According to them the warranty only covers material or workmanship issues. Strange position to take, but ok.
"Our windshields may crack, but we didn't break federal safety standard #205" appears to be Subaru's defense in court against a class-action cracked windshield lawsuit.
Just a month after Powell v. Subaru, a second lawsuit is accusing the automaker of selling cars with defective windshields. The plaintiffs say the use of "acoustic glass" in the windshields seems to correspond with the uptick in complaints.
