While driving on I-75 South near lake city, fl a small pebble struck and cracked the passenger side of my windshield. The year, make, and model of my vehicle have a well known history of weakness as well as fragility and class action suit for the Subaru outback of same vintage has reached settlement. Unfortunately, the Forester has the same problem. I had the crack repaired the same day to prevent it from getting bigger. I am attaching a receipt for repair and a post repair photo of the defect.

The original windshield of my Forester suddenly cracked while parked a few months ago. My insurance fully covered the repair. The replacement aftermarket windshield from safelite only lasted a few more months before it too got chipped from a small pebble hit and needed repair. The third windshield was defective and finally, the fourth time, I got an oem windshield installed which is still intact. I incurred no costs due to insurance but this is very aggravating! it's hard to get a reliable replacement glass on the aftermarket, which is all insurance pays for unless you have multiple problems like I did, only then will you get oem. And I wonder how long it will last! the glass seems brittle - there is an obvious design problem here.

I purchase my 2017 Forester from the annapolis dealer as a used loaner car with less than 7000 miles with the original and extended warranty coverage. After reading about windshield problems I started checking the windshield on my Forester. There are a number of hairline cracks that are difficult to see and best seen in low sunlight with the light is refracted by the cracks. I have not reported this problem to the dealer but will at the next service appointment.

Windshield exhibited sparkling type fault that compromised ability to see clearly thru the windshield. Especially severe in night driving or direct sunlight. Subaru replaced windshield as a "courtesy" to me. The same condition is now prevalent in the replacement windshield. I know the dealer will tell me it is another fault, not the manufacturing of the windshield.

- Morrisville, NC, USA

I am reporting to separate incidences. Both incidences are because of a small rock hitting my windshield, creating a bullet-sized crack in my windshield. One occurred while driving on the highway and one occurred while driving on county roads. The first bullet hole crack has since spread into a crack that covers the entire length of my windshield period the more recent bullet hole crack will most likely do the same.
