I purchased a 2020 Subaru Outback one week ago (Jan 30, 2020) today I have 700 miles and after hearing of charges against Subaru for producing defective windshields I inspected mine and I noticed a 2' long windshield crack on lower drivers side. I'm concerned that it may spread later to impede my vision, but wanted to go on record that this defect exists.

The windshield spontaneously cracked for no reason. When returning home, noticed a 15 inch crack rising from the lower passenger-side edge of the windshield, rising under the wipers and towards the center of the windshield. The car had previously been parked outdoors under overcast skies (not hot), and there was no impact to the windshield while driving. (nor do I recall any windshield impacts at any time since purchasing the car) the crack simply appeared. It was not present 10 minutes prior when my son got into the car.

Windshield cracked on passenger side from beneath the wiper blade up about 12-15 inches. Very small chip about 2 inches from the bottom of the windshield along the crack. Do not remember being hit by debris. Even so it would have been a very small pebble and I believe it should not have caused the windshield to crack. Seems extremely weak. Not sure if the new 2020 Outbacks have the same windshield issue as the 2017-2019 but it seems to have a lot of similarities with many other consumers and the class action lawsuits against Subaru for this reason.

Windshield spontaneously cracked. On 12/30/2020 my wife and I drove up into mountains to spend new years eve camping. Ascent was 6000+ feet with a sharp temperature change. Two cracks appeared below the windshield wipers, then joined into one and spread further up the windshield. The crack seemed to occur shortly after turning on the defrost function. We noticed the crack while stopped. Nothing hit the windshield. I took the car to our dealer, bob baker subary in carlsbad, ca, but they denied any responsibility for the crack. The service manager said it was from a rock and he could tell because he has 35 years of experience. Yet he failed to ask a single question of when, where or how it occurred.

The car was parked on 12/28.2019 in perfect condition as new. Upon entering the vehicle at 11:50am on 12/29/2019 it was obvious that the windshield had cracked overnight. The crack is 24 inches in length and runs from the bottom drivers side under the left side of the windshield wiper heading in an upward direction then turns toward the right side of the vehicle at an elevation of one third the height of the windshield. The vehicle was parked and stationary when this occurred. I have been exclusively the sole driver of this vehicle for all of its 2260 miles. The windshield has never been struck by an object.the vehicle was purchased new by me on 10/31/2019.
