Yesterday morning (car is parked), I discovered a crack that is about 4 inches long on my windshield and have gotten longer throughout the day and today. Currently, it is about 26 inches across the middle. I live in an apartment and have personal parking where are there open parking and not parked under a tree or anything that would have fallen on the windshield. There are no spiderweb crack or signs (like a rock being thrown..etc) that would indicate the windshield to crack. I called my dealership and was told that it was not covered under warranty nor was it recalled; even though there are numerous cases I've found online that many 2020 Outback owners (and other Subaru owners) have experienced cracked windshield for no apparent reason. I just bought this vehicle on 29feb2020; there is no way that a windshield would crack so suddenly unless it was not installed correctly or defective/due to heating element.

Came outside to get into the vehicle and saw that windshield was cracked. Had not driven it the previous day, the nearest house is over an acre away. We have no children. No idea why it would crack because we weren't driving it and there was no one around to damage it and it had been sitting for over 36 hours.

The windshield cracked without a reason while I was driving. The crack starts at the top, approximately at the center. It started to expand down and in a few hours has reached half of the height. I checked with few repair shops and the verdict is the windshield needs a replacement. After the crack appeared my adaptive cruise control has started to turn off by itself for short period (so far it happened twice).

I was driving down a paved road when I heard a noise and realized I had a chip in my windshield. There were not cars around me and didn't see anything fly at my windshield. The road is in a residential/business neighborhood. The chip has not grown since then. I don't remember the exact date I've also noticed after going through a car wash my windshield will look clean for but by the end of the day it's looks dirty with little specks all over it again. It doesn't matter what the weather is.

New 2020 Subaru Outback with 3K miles. Was driving home at ~50mph on freeway, a small (1 cm) rock hit upper windshield and made a small chip. The chip then suddenly propagated to a foot-long crack right in front of the driver. Have owned many vehicles over the past 30 years and have never had a windshield shatter. Properly manufactured windshield should chip, not shatter.

We discovered a crack in our Subaru Outback windshield. There is no sign of a chip from a rock hitting the windshield, just a crack. The vehicle had less than 4,00 miles on it. The Outback was in the garage when discovered. We had it repaired on October 28 2020. While gathering information about the cracked windshield I came across several sites discussing Subaru cracked windshields and a class action suit against Subaru for this particular problem.

Subaru windshield continues to crack under suspect conditions. I am now on my third windshield in the first 5,000 miles of ownership. The first windshield cracked spontaneously while driving with no other cars around. The second windshield cracked when a miniscule rock hit it while driving. It is dangerous to have such weak glass in a modern car. There is no reason that windshields should be cracking this frequently.
