I have owned several cars in the past but my Subaru Forester-??s windshield cracked within the first year. I now have 3 cracks in my windshield and I havent even had it for 2 years. I even spoke with my local Subaru dealership and they even say the windshields crack more then they should.

I was driving on a highway cloverleaf on October 29 2021 when I heard a load popping sound in the windshield area. At the time it occurred the closest vehicle in front of me was a pickup truck several hundred yards ahead of me on the curve, so I was not inline with the rear of the vehicle. Within about 15 seconds a crack started creeping from the upper drivers side of the windshield, to the center middle of the window. The sound I heard was nothing like a rock hitting the window. I took the Forester to Lee's Summit Subaru and had Service Advisor Greg Richards take a look at it and he said there was a small impact area (1/20th CM), but said it looked to small to have caused the crack. He said, "that because of the EyeSight System, Subaru had to make the glass thinner than the industry standard for it to work consistently, they chose the higher safety rating over a stronger windshield." He checked to se if we had purchased windshield replacement insurance, which we had not. He told me he has a friend that has gone through six windshield's on his Outback in the last 2 years. He said the problem was with any Subaru with The EyeSight System. I took Photos of what he said was the impact area, with a ruler for reference.

Windshield has crack starting at bottom middle of passenger side that curves up to about half way up and over the windshield ending about midpoint between passenger and driver. Car had been last driven Sunday, October 17th 2021 and then no crack was still visible as of Friday morning. But between Friday and Saturday, October 23rd 2021 the crack appeared when the vehicle had not been driven in 5 days. Heard about possible windshield issues with recent Subaru models so wanted to submit my info as from what I can tell nothing hit the windshield to cause the problem. Since $10.23 the car has been driven and I am not seeing the crack spread any further thus far.

We were driving about 50 mph on a paved road in the suburbs of a city when suddenly we heard a "pop" and saw a chip in the passenger side of our windshield. No other cars were around us at the time and it was an open road (e.g., we did not drive under an overpass). We don't know how the chip occurred. We continued driving and then parked the car in our garage. Four days later, with the car still in the garage, we discovered the chip had grown into a more than 20-inch crack horizontally on the passenger side of the car. We have been in touch with our insurance company and they have recommended a specific auto glass company to repair it. But we've been told it'll take 4 weeks or more to receive the replacement windshield and recalibrate it. We have since learned from searching the Internet that cracking windshields on Subaru models is a common complaint among Subaru owners.
