A crack formed in the windshield during normal driving, there was no chip or object that hit the windshield that would form a crack. It is a big S-shaped curve from the top of the windshield where it meet the roof down toward the middle of the windshield below the rear view mirror. The windshield was replaced by the dealer within the last 6 weeks from a prior chip and crack.

I recently purchased a 2017 Subaru Outback. It developed random small chips in the windshield in 4 different spots on the windshield I was driving on a small neighborhood street, when I noticed specs on my windshield that would not come off upon further inspection I came to realize they were tiny chips in the glass. I have no explanation as to how those got there I was not impacted by anything flying at my windshield. I had to pay out of pocket to fix one chip that got big enough to possibly crack the other 3 I was told by the safelight employee that I would get lots of them and I didn't need to do anything until they chipped or cracked deeper. He informed me that the Subaru glass is very thin and chips and cracks easily he has many Subaru's that come in for this problem. The way the chips are starting out very tiny and how they are spaced out leads me to believe this is something Subaru should be made aware and recall and replace. My husband just purchased a cross trek and no surprise after inspecting his windshield we found two very tiny small chips in different locations on his windshield. I was told to try and keep my windshield cool and out of the sun to try and prevent anymore chipping or cracking. If I had known the Subaru Outback had this defect I never would have purchased this car.

I purchased the vehicle used from a dealership on 02/09/2021. On 03/31/2021 while driving the car, I noticed a crack in the windshield near the top center of the windshield. Upon further exploration, I noticed the crack extended from the top-center, down about 4 inches and then another 6 inches towards the passenger side of the vehicle. The vehicle has not been involved in any crash or accident in the six weeks I have owned the car. The crack seems to have appeared out of nowhere.

Subrau Outback windshields are prone to cracks in the center top area. Small rocks will cause damage 100% of the time in this same area. Replaced original windshield and current windshield experienced cracking in the same location.

1) windshield cracked overnight while parked in an enclosed garage. This occurred within the first few months of ownership. 2) the advanced collision detection/ lane tracking system called eyesight failed within the first few months of ownership. 3) battery has repeatedly failed and required roadside assistance. Car was parked in ab enclosed garage most of the times when this failure occurred. 3) currently, a flat tire indicator is on even though all tires are properly inflated.
