My windshield has cracked easily in multiple locations while driving on the freeway. In the little over a year that I have owned this vehicle it has cracked sooner and more often than my two prior vehicles. The ease of which my windshield has cracked is concerning for the safety of the driver due to the integrity of the windshield being so easily impaired.

Vehicle was stationary, parked, engine was off, no one was in the car. Crack spontaneously appeared from base of windshield up about 5 inches. There was no crack in the windshield when I parked the car. There was no rock chip on the way up. I looked closely at the crack and there is no evidence of a rock chip, no divot anywhere along the crack, none whatsoever. When I returned, a crack had spontaneously appeared. The service dept at eastside Subaru in kirkland, wa, said to call my insurance and that it's not covered though the car has basic warranty and an extended warranty.

Windshield got cracked without any visible reason while parked in garage, and crack gradually went all across the window. That made driving not safe. Windshield replacement was not covered by warranty and did cost a bit over $1500 including eyesight recalibration. All paperwork for repair/calibration is available.

On July 5, 2019, I had my windshield replaced after multiple cracks appeared on both the driver's side and the top-middle part. The driver's side crack was from debris that impacted it directly while driving on city streets. The additional crack at the top-middle part was unexplained as there was no impact on it by rocks or debris while driving. A year later on September 19, 2020, I had the windshield replaced a second time after a rock impacted the side edge of the windshield and frame of the car sending spider cracks into the middle layer of the windshield. This happened in mid-August. A third incident occurred on October 18, 2020, when a small rock hit the windshield in the middle causing the windshield to crack in the middle layer and is now being sealed.

The windshield developed a crack while I was sitting in a parking lot. It emanates from right above the driver side windshield wiper. There is no evidence of rock strike.

I join complainants with a Subaru windshield crack. A crack mysteriously started at the base of my windshield on the passenger side. I don't recall anything hitting it, and there's no sign of any impact (ding, chip, nothing!). I can't determine where or how it may have started (crack runs to base of windshield). Since appearing, it's grown about halfway up, and now halfway across the windshield. I understand from a news article a class action suit is pending which includes a vast number of Subaru vehicles - multiple models & years - experiencing windshield cracks. My model and year is included in the class. I file my complaint as a result of finding the news story, which suggests a complaint be filed.
