My windshield developed a crack starting from the bottom center, right where the windhield heating element is.

Ended up replacing the windshield with an aftermarket one after Subaru of America said they won't cover it.

- Island Heights, NJ, USA

Parked the car with no crack in the windshield. Warmed up the car in the morning and found a crack when leaving for work. Vehicle was parked when it happened. Crack is located right above the wiper blade and spans in three directions right where the wiper deicer is located. Because of where it is located it could not have been caused by normal driving such as a rock or debris. I believe this to be a defect in the windshield.

Two episodes of spontaneous chipping/cracking. First chip happened in the lower right corner when parked in parking lot. This happened before the first 3 month check-up. We choose not to replace it as there was no evidence of spidering and it did not affect driver vision. Second crack happened today, while parked in a garage, at around 40K miles. This is a large crack that is arising from the medial bottom aspect of the windshield.

I bought my Subaru Outback new from the dealer in June of 2017. Since then I have had to replace the windshield three times. The first crack, in 2017 was the result of a black walnut falling from a tree in which the car was parked under. The crack went from the driver's side all the way across the windshield. The second crack in 2018 was from gravel on a highway exit when the car was traveling at 35mph. The crack started at the top of the windshield and grew all the way down and across the driver's side in less than a day. The third crack happened in January 2020, the car was traveling at 65mph on rt 95 when the driver heard a pop and a crack appeared at the bottom of the windshield. The driver had not seen an object hit the glass nor heard anything greater than the small pop of the glass.

Windshield cracked and I'm not sure why. Started small; stretched completely across within two days. Driving it with the crack didn't feel safe. Hard to say if it was happening wile the car was moving or while it was parked since it happened slowly.
