3 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 02/26/2020

Purchased a new 2019 Subaru Ascent in February 2019. After having it home a few days noticed a chip with a small crack in the windshield on the bottom drivers side corner near the blacked out area, which I did not see when I took the car. Called the dealership and brought the car in to show them. They said there was nothing they could do and I would have to pay for a new windshield. A month later I wrote a letter to the owner of the dealership and never received a response or acknowledgment of my letter. A year later the small crack turned into a very large crack and ultimately I had to replace the windshield in March, 2020, and pay the deductible on my insurance policy.
