Windshield cracked while vehicle was parked in the driveway (not moving).

- La Porte, IN, USA

I just got some interesting details today from my video registrator. It shows that we parked our car last Sunday at 5 30pm (everett, wa). There wasn't any windshields defects showing on the video. After we took it back on 8 30pm, there is that prominent crack on the windshield already. Now, if it was some vandal causing it, then it's not clear why he/she would do such a minor harm to the car (a thin, 5 inch crack on the right middle side of the windshield), it doesn't look like it. If not - then it's obviously not a stone, cause the car was standing still... plus, my video registrator's manufacturer claims that the camera is recording any movement in front of the car even when the car is turned off - well, there weren't any movements detected... I have requested the buildings around if they have any video registration system that could have tracked this time period. I'm more than sure that the window cracked on its own and have the following material - 3 photos of crack (different scale), videos before and after our trip to everett, where it's clearly seen that we didn't have any windshield defect before parking and that it appeared during the parking period.

Large crack from drivers side, originating at the edge window frame near the side mirror and extending horizontally to nearly the middle of the windshield. The crack appeared sometime while the vehicle was not in use. There is no visible impact or deformation around the crack. The origin of the crack is not visible, it begins under the windshield trim.

I parked my car in a grocery store parking lot for 30 minutes. When I got back in the car, there was a large 't' shaped crack- about 12 inches in height and 10 inches wide- from the base of the windshield up. My windshield had not experienced any rocks or blows from driving before parking- this was a spontaneous crack with no reason for occurring.

The front windshield on my 2019 Subaru Outback spontaneously cracked in the area of the deicer strip at the bottom lower right portion of the window. I was driving the vehicle at the time on a state highway. The vehicle was purchased brand new from wilde Subaru in waukesha, wi. I contacted the dealership and they wouldn't do anything about the problem.

Woke up on Saturday February 20, 2021 to find windshield of our 2019 Subaru Outback with a crack in it for no reason. We didn't drive it at all since February 20th and today the crack has spread even further (see attached picture). This cracked out of the blue with no force to cause it and have no idea why this would happen. So I then googled Subaru windshield and have found many people are having this same issue and that's why I'm informing you it has now happened to us.

I requested many times to have our car checked for nhsta campaign : 19V493000. The dealership said our car was not included in that case. Our lane assist was too aggressive from the first day we drove the car. The dealership said the steering was speed sensitive and we were driving too fast. We explained that we could not keep the car in the lane when driving over 40 mph. In the first 24 months we carried the car to the dealership 20 to 30 times for the unsafe steering issue. Twenty four months later we had a rock chip the windshield and the chip ran into 3 cracks each over 8 inches long that afternoon while the car was in our home garage. After we paid a $500 deductible and the dealership replaced the windshield, the car drove better. The battery has been replaced three times, the fuel pump replaced, all the sensors on the tail gate have been, the passenger side window would stick 1/2 up, and many other problems. A scan of the car shows 10 modules failed with many active codes. The codes are the same as before the third battery was installed. Many of the codes are safety issues.

I was driving down the freeway and my windshield spontaneously cracked at the top middle edge and shot down almost halfway across the windshield. A rock on any other object did not hit my windshield. It just simply broke spontaneously. Due to this break the forward collision sensor is now failing and warning me to get my car service. This problem is well documented through other complains and existing lawsuits.

On the morning of 1/10/21, when I started the car in our driveway for the first time that day, I noticed a spontaneous crack on my windshield beginning from the driver side edge and continuing diagonally up and towards the passenger side. It was about 8 inches long. There was no indication that anything had fallen on the windshield nor any point of impact. This is the 3 or 4th time this has happened since I've owned this car.

I was picking my son up from school when the crack started, as I sat in the parking lot it continued down and across the center of the windshield. There were no chips or dings to be found. I do believe it causes the forward crash indicator to trip sooner than it should.

I purchased my Outback in April of 2019. While I was driving on a highway, my Outback's windshield cracked in June of 2019 and my local Subaru dealership replaced the windshield during the summer of 2019. Then while I was driving on a highway in July of 2019 the windshield of my 2019 Outback cracked again. Subaru Outback's replacement windshields are no better than the original windshields. They are defect as well. My 2019 Subaru Outback's windshield has cracked twice in an 14-month period.

Spontaneous crack in windshield. I am the only driver of the car. It wasn't hit by gravel or anything. Crack just appeared one day above and behind the rear view mirror. Will need to have the eyesight safety features recalibrated when I have the windshield replaced.

We developed two spontaneous cracks in our windshield. The vehicle was stationary, parked in our garage. No debris hit the windshield at any time. The cracks begin under/at the driver side near/under the wiper unit. (the cracks essentially form a wide "V" one crack toward the passenger side is quite long and growing, the other is short - about 3" now also growing). The location of the beginning of the crack/S is under the level of the hood of the car, which would also make it near impossible for the crack to be due to a pebble, gravel, etc.

I was driving on the freeway and my windshield cracked at the passenger side bottom as the crack traveled up the windshield. I did not notice anything hit it.

While driving on a highway my grandson asked about a "line"in the windshield. I had not noticed it but there was a six inch crack extending downward from the top edge. From the driver's side it was obscured by the rear view mirror. Within two or three days it had curved in an S shape to about eighteen in ches in length. Nothing had hit the windsield while driving and I had not driven on any rough roads.
