2020 SUBARU FORESTER Visibilitywiper Problems

I PURCHASED A 2019 SUBARU FORRESTER IN 2019. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, ALONE ON A COUNTRY HIGHWAY. THERE WAS NO WAY THERE WAS ANY IMPACT, SO I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE AND I HAD THE HEAT ON - MAYBE THE MIXING OF TEMPERATURES CAUSED IT TO CRACK. I HAD GEICO COVER THE NEW WINDSHIELD. I PURCHASED A 2020 FORRESTER IN JULY 2020, AND HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT. THE CAR WAS SITTING, ALONE, IN A PARKING RAMP THAT WAS COVERED AT MY HOUSE, WITH NOTHING AROUND IT. I WAS OUT OF MY CAR FOR MAYBE AN HOUR AND CAME BACK AND THE WINDSHIELD HAD CRACKED AGAIN.

ON 12/25/20 WE FOUND A CRACK ON OUR WINDSHIELD FROM THE ROOF OF THE CAR TO THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD IN THE CENTER FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. WE ARE CURRENTLY VACATIONING IN WESTERN NC AND THE WEATHER HAS BEEN VERY COLD. WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND NO OBJECT HAS HIT THE VEHICLE. WE WERE REASSURED BY THE SUBARU DEALER IT WAS NOT DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER. WE CALLED OUR AAA AUTO INSURANCE TO SCHEDULE A REPLACEMENT/RECALIBRATION AT NO COST. CLAIM # CLM00560639. WE ALSO NOTIFIED TRONCALLI SUBARU IN CUMMING, GA FOR REPAIRS THEY ARE CHARGING >$1100. THE NEAREST SAFELITE AUTO GLASS IS 2.5 HRS AWAY IN UNION CITY, GA. WE HAVE A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT ON 1/8/21. WE ARE VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE CRACKING OF THE WINDSHIELD AND ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. WE...

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT, I EXITING MY WORK AND GOT IN THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED A CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD THAT WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY THERE. I DROVE STRAIGHT HOME, AFTER PARKING IN THE GARAGE THE WINDSHIELD THEN BEGAN TO CRACK AND SPIDER OUT

VEHICLE WAS DRIVING NEXT TO AN RV ON THE FREEWAY. RV KICKED UP SMALL DEBRIS ONTO WINDSHIELD. WINDSHIELD IMMEDIATELY HAD ABOUT 16 INCH CRACK.

BETWEEN THE TIME AT WHICH I PARKED MY VEHICLE (WITH A FULLY INTACT, UN-CHIPPED WINDSHIELD) IN THE SMALL, PRIVATE PARKING LOT AT MY RURAL PLACE OF WORK, APPROXIMATELY 9:00AM EST ON DECEMBER 31ST, 2020, AND THE TIME AT WHICH I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE, APPROXIMATELY TWO HOURS LATER AT 10:45AM EST ON DECEMBER 31ST, 2020, A LARGE CRACK HAD FORMED ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK'S LENGTH WAS APPROXIMATELY 8.5 INCHES IN WIDTH, BEGINNING ON THE EDGE OF THE GLASS APPROXIMATELY 12" FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD AND CONTINUING LATERALLY. THE VEHICLE, WHICH I PURCHASED LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CRACK SPONTANEOUSLY FORMING, IS BRAND NEW AND HAS JUST UNDER 6,000 MILES. I HAVE ALSO BEEN THE SOLE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASING IT BRAND NEW, AND CAN ATTEST THAT NO ROCKS OR PEBBLES HAVE HIT THE WINDSHIELD.

2020 FORESTER WITH 2800 MILES ON ODOMETER. STARTED CAR IN 26 DEGREE WEATHER AND SAW A CRACK APPEAR ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE WHICH THEN CREPT ACROSS HORIZONTALLY TO A LENGTH OF APPROXIMATELY 18 INCHES AS THE VEHICLE WARMED UP WITH DEFROSTER ON. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURPOSELY PURCHASED FOR IT'S VISIBILITY AND ELECTRONIC VEHICLE SAFETY FEATURES (EYESIGHT). A WINDSHIELD THAT CRACKS SEEMINGLY ON IT'S OWN SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTS THE FUNCTIONALITY, SAFETY AND THE MANUFACTURER'S STATED VALUE OF THIS VEHICLE.

WINDSHIELD CRACKS EASILY ON A 2020 SUBARU FORESTER

I'VE HAD MY 2020 SUBARU FORESTER FOR UNDER 3 MONTHS AND I'VE PUT LESS THAN 900 MILES ON IT, AND YET I'VE SOMEHOW STILL HIT 3 SMALL ROCKS RESULTING IN 3 CHIPS TO THE WINDSHIELD IMPACTING VISIBILITY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. SAFELITE FILLED THE CHIPS BUT THEY ARE STILL VISIBLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A RESULT OF THE ACOUSTIC GLASS BEING MORE FRAGILE OR PRONE TO CHIPS AND CRACKS.

DRIVING AT 60 MPH ON TEXAS STATE ROUTE 249 VERY SMALL PEBBLE HIT WINDSHIELD ABOUT 2 INCHES FROM BOTTOM NEAR CENTER CREATING A STAR LESS THAN 1/4 INCH DIAMETER WITH NO DEPTH. EYESIGHT SYSTEM STILL WORKING. NEXT MORNING AFTER BEING IN GARAGE OVERNIGHT, FOUND A CRACK 14 INCH LONG HAD EXTENDED FROM IMPACT. WILL BE REPAIRED BY INSURANCE AT A SUBARU QUALIFIED GLASS REPAIR FACILITY.

WE HAVE HAD OUR 2020 FORESTER FOR 5 MONTHS. COMING HOME FROM A DRIVE TO THE GROCERY STORE, WE NOTICED A TINY CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN WE PULLED INTO OUR GARAGE. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS ON THE ROADWAY. WE LOOKED ONLINE AND APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WHERE A TINY CRACK DEVELOPS FROM A ROCK OR OTHER SMALL DEBRIS AND THEN WITHIN A DAY OR TWO THERE IS A TWO TO THREE FOOT CRACK ACROSS THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD. WE HAVE DRIVEN OTHER VEHICLES FOR YEARS WITHOUT A TINY PIECE OF DEBRIS CAUSING SO MUCH DAMAGE. THERE IS CLEARLY A FLAW IN HOW THE WINDSHIELDS ARE DEVELOPED (PROBABLY TO SELL THEIR EXPENSIVE WINDSHIELD WARRANTY PLANS). AS THERE IS A POINT OF IMPACT I'M SURE IT WON'T BE COVERED BY ANY OF OUR MANUFACTURER WARRANTIES. THE WHOLE ISSUE THOUGH IS THE LACK OF VISIBLE DEBRIS DURING OUR DRIVE--LITERALLY IT...

I WAS DRIVING HOME IT WAS DARK AND RAINING. SOMETHING HIT MY WINDSHIELD WHEN I WOKE UP ON SATURDAY I SAW A BIG CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD

MY CAR DEVELOPED A CRACK ON THE WINDSHIELD OVERNIGHT WHEN IT WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. THE CRACK WASN'T THERE IN THE NIGHT, AND THE CAR WAS DRIVEN LOCALLY FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS TO GO TO WORK AND BACK. I AM GENERALLY KNOWN TO MY FRIENDS AS ONE OF THE SAFEST DRIVERS AROUND AND I TRY TO DRIVE AS DEFENSIVELY AS POSSIBLE. I DO NOT RECALL ANY DEBRIS OR STONES HITTING MY CAR. THE CRACK IS BIG AND IT CANNOT BE MASKED BY OTHER MEASURES. I DID NOT EXPECT A CAR WHICH I HAVE BEEN DRIVING JUST FOR 2 MONTHS TO DEVELOP SUCH AN ISSUE. ON THE CONTRARY I HAVE OWNED MY 2004 LEXUS ES330 SINCE PAST 5 YEARS BUT NEVER DID I HAVE A SIMILAR DAMAGE LIKE IN 2020 SUBARU FORESTER. I AM DISAPPOINTED IN THE SAFETY PRACTICES OF THIS COMPANY. THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE CAR...

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITHIN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS AND AN OBJECT WE COULD NOT IDENTIFY HIT THE WINDSHIELD ON A SUNDAY. IT SOUNDED LIKE A SMALL ROCK, BUT TWO DAYS LATER ON TUESDAY WE NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT CRACK THAT DEVELOPED FROM A SMALL CHIP. I LATER LEARNED AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THAT SUBARU HAS HAD ISSUES WITH THEIR WINDSHIELDS.

FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY

THE CAR WAS PARKED AS I WAS WALKING UP TO IT THERE WAS A CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD. I WAS WALKING TO MY CAR AND NOTICED A GLARE WALKING UP AND LOOKED CLOSER AND THERE WAS A CRACKING MY WINDSHIELD

A 12 INCH CRACK APPEARED IN THE CENTER OF MY WINDSHIELD, PASSENGER SIDE, STARTING AT THE EDGE, AND GOING HORIZONTALLY TOWARDS THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I HAD JUST LEFT A SHOP'S PARKING LOT. IT WAS NOT THERE BEFORE PARKING. I DID NOT SPOT IT IMMEDIATELY BUT ONLY AFTER 3 MINUTES DRIVING. THERE WAS NO NOISE OF A HIT OR BREAKAGE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WAS UNCERTAIN WHETHER THE CRACK WOULD SPREAD TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE - OR ALL OVER THE WINDSHIELD.

LITERALLY ABOUT A MONTH AFTER WE BOUGHT THE CAR, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED AND THERE WAS NO REAL SIGN OF IMPACT. I WAITED A FEW MONTHS AND EVENTUALLY THE CRACK SPREAD ACROSS THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD AND IMPAIRED MY VISION SO I PID MY DEDUCTIBLE AND GOT IT REPLACED WITH SAFELIGHT.

I HAVE 2,500 MILES ON THE NEW 2020 SUBARU FORESTER AND A LARGE CRACK APPEARED ON MY WINDSHIELD OVERNIGHT (STATIONARY). NOTHING HIT MY WINDSHIELD. CRACK GOES FROM MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD DOWN TO THE LOWER RIGHT PORTION OF THE WINDSHIELD WHERE IT'S HEATED.

WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY ALONE AROUND 60 MPH AND WINDSHIELD RANDOMLY CRACKED

SPONTANEOUS CHIPPING AND CRACKING OF THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY. DID NOT HEAR ANY ROCK OR PEBBLE HIT MY WINDSHIELD DURING DRIVING. ONCE I STOPPED IN THE GAS STATION TO FILL UP THE TANK I NOTICED A CRACKED STARTING FROM THE MIDDLE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD WHILE I'M CLEANING IT.

I PURCHASED A 2020 SUBARU FORRESTER ON 4-1-2020. 90% OF MY DRIVING IS ON SLOWING MOVING STREET TRAFFIC. ON 11-22-2020SIVER DOLLAR SIZED CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD, LOCATED ON THE VERY CENTER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE SECTION OF THE WINDSHIELD AND 3" ABOVE THE TOP OF THE ENGINE HOOD. I NEVER HEARD ANY ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND ON EXAMINATION OF THE CRACK, I COULD FIND FIND ANY INDENTATION OR CHIP THAT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE CRACK. ON 11-24-2020, I WENT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE SUBARU DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE REP, NAMED CORY, LOOKED AT IT AND COULD NOT FEEL OR ANY CRACK THAT WOULD HAVE A STARTED THE CRACK. CORY THEN WENT TO GET HIS SERVICE MANAGER. THE SERVICE MANAGER IMMEDIATELY GOT A PEN AND PUSHED AROUND ON THE CRACK UNTIL HE PUSHED HARD ENOUGH TO SHOW A LESS THAN A 1 MM...

A CRACK APPEARED ON MY WINDSHIELD WITH NO CAUSE. NO DEBRIS FLEW UP AND HIT IT TO CAUSE A CRACK OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF DAMAGE.

WINDSHIELD CRACKING: I HAVE 7K MILES ON MY 2020 FORESTER AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD TWICE ALREADY WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. THE FIRST TIME I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF I WAS HIT BY ANYTHING. I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR A COUPLE HOURS AND I PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I CAME OUT AN HOUR LATER THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED LEFT TO RIGHT. THE SECOND TIME WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS HIT BY A VERY SMALL PEBBLE THAT LEFT THE TINIEST OF NICKS - INITIALLY BARELY EVEN VISIBLE. WITHIN AN HOUR IT STRETCHED ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. I LIVE IN AZ - IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY. BUT ALL MY OTHER CARS OVER THE YEARS HAD LOTS OF TINY AND NOT-SO-TINY NICKS FROM SMALL ROCKS THAT NEVER SPREAD OUT AT ALL. THE WINDSHIELD ON MY PRIOR 2014 FORESTER WITH 90K...

MY WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED WITHIN THE FIRST 30 DAYS OF PURCHASING MY BRAND NEW 2020 SUBARU FORESTER WITH NOTHING IMPACTING IT. I WAS DRIVING WITH NO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD, MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ON A WELL PAVED ROAD ON A ROUTE I HAVE DRIVEN FOR YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS. NOW THERE IS A LARGE BREAK IN GLASS RUNNING ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF MY WINDSHIELD. I EVEN TOOK IT TO SUBARU AND A SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID HE COULD NOT FIND A PLACE OF IMPACT. WHEN I MAKE A TURN NOW I CAN HEAR THE GLASS BEING STRESSED FROM THE TURN.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I HEARD A SOUND THAT SOUNDED LIKE GLASS SNAPPING. A TICK SOUND. WHEN I LOOKED UP I SAW TWIST LOOKED LIKE A BEAD OF WATER GOING ACROSS THE WINDOW. IT WASN'T WATER, BUT A CRACK. NOTHING HIT THE WINDOW.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT A REASONABLE SPEED A SMALL PEBBLE CAUSED A CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD. ONLY 1500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

A CRACK/CHIP APPEARED AT THE LOWER DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER 4,000 MILES AND BARELY DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FIRST I NOTICED IT WAS OCTOBER 14, 2020 WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE.

MY WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A SUDDEN, AND LARGE CRACK FOR NO APPARENT REASON, NOTHING ABNORMAL HAD HIT THE WINDSHIELD SINCE BUYING THE CAR. IT WAS PARKED IN MY PRIVATE CARPORT WITH NO CRACK, AND 20 MINUTES LATER WHEN I NEXT GOT IN MY CAR THERE WAS A VERY LARGE CRACK.

I HAVE HAD 3 CRACKED WINDSHIELD ON MY 2019 AND 2020 SUBARU FORESTER, ALL 3 HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

NO ROCK DENTS OR ANYTHING AND I CAME OUT ONE MORNING AND A HUGE CRACK APPEARING TO START FROM THE BOTTOM LEFT AND GOING ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD OUT OF NOWHERE. NO ROCK DAMAGE NOTHING JUST A RANDOM CRACK FROM NOWHERE. IT WAS PARKED ALL NIGHT.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2020 SUBARU FORESTER AND JUST BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE OF A STRAIGHT TWO LANE ENTRANCE RAMP TO A HIGHWAY. IN THE RIGHT LANE AND IN FRONT OF ME WAS A TRUCK PULLING A TRAILER WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE TRAILER TRAVELING AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED ON A CLEAR DAY AROUND 3:00PM IN SEPTEMBER. THE TRUCK WITH TRAILER IN FRONT OF ME KICKED UP A FEW ROAD PEBBLES. BY THE SOUNDS OF THE PEBBLES HITTING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRAILER, I COULD TELL THAT THEY WERE SMALL CHIPS OF STONE. THEN, I HEARD ONE OF THEM PING ON MY WINDSHIELD AND IMMEDIATELY SAW A DIAGONAL CRACK (FROM LEFT TO RIGHT) THAT BEGAN UNDER THE RUBBER AROUND THE WINDSHIELD AND EXTENDED DOWN ABOUT 20 INCHES IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS NO SPIDER WEBBING OF THE GLASS...

MY SUBARU HAS 8K MILES ON IT. WAS DRIVING DOWN ROUTE 81 DOING 65MPH WITH NO VEHICLES AROUND ME. HIT A SEEM, NOT A BUMP BUT A SEEM IN THE HIGHWAY AND MY WINDSHIELD NOW HAS A 6' STRESS CRACK WHICH STARTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. NO CHIP IN GLASS AND THERE WERE NO CARS NEAR ME AT ALL. AND THE PICTURE I SUBMITTED HAS THE CRACK. THERE'S ONE SPOT TO THE LEFT OF IT AND THAT IS SAP NOT A CHIP.

I HAVE OWNED MY BRAND NEW 2020 FORESTER FOR 6 WEEKS. AS I WAS BACKING MY CAR INTO A PARKING SPOT AT WORK (IT WAS RAINING), I SAW WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A RAIN STREAK APPEARING - STARTED ON THE LOWER LEFT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD - I WATCHED AS IT GREW TO A 16-18 INCH CRACK! NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD. TRAFFIC WAS SLOWER THAN USUAL BECAUSE OF THE RAIN AND AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY, THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC ON THE LESS THAN 5 MINUTE TRIP TO MY WORKPLACE. I FELT NOTHING ON THE INSIDE AND THE OUTSIDE WAS SMOOTH, AT FIRST. SINCE IT WAS RAINING FAIRLY HARD - I CAME OUT 30 MINUTES LATER AND NOT ONLY HAD THE CRACK GROWN IN LENGTH - THE CRACK HAD WIDENED ENOUGH THAT I COULD FEEL IT! WHEN I GOT BACK TO MY COMPUTER - I GOOGLED AND FOUND...

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, A PEBBLE HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THIS EXTENDED TO A 6-INCH CRACK IN THE DRIVE HOME. THE CRACK EXTENDED TO A 1.5-FOOT CRACK OVERNIGHT.

WHILE SITTING STATIONARY IN PARKING LOT MY WINDSHIELD SUDDENLY WENT "POP!" AND THEN A CRACK STARTED RUNNING DOWN MY WINDSHIELD FROM THE TOP ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I SAW NO REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. I PURCHASED IT 1 WEEK AGO BRAND NEW.

2020 FORESTER. WINDSHIELD CRACKS. WITHIN A YEAR. ONE +1FT LONG CRACK RAN FROM BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER TO MID WINDSHIELD. WINDSHIELD REPLACED. CRACKED AGAIN, THIS TIME ABOUT 18INCH CRACK, STARTING IN LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER OF WINDSCREEN, RAPIDLY RAN INTO MID WINDSCREEN/WINDSHIELD DIRECTLY IN DRIVERS FIELD OF VIEW. THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED IN MY MULTI DECADE DRIVING EXPERIENCE. NEITHER THE OWNER, ME, NOR THE INSURANCE COMPANY SHOULD PAY FOR THIS. AND BECAUSE IT MIGRATES TO MID WINDSHIELD, IT IS A SIGNIFICANT DRIVING DISTRACTION, PARTICULARLY IN SOME SUN CONDITIONS.

I WAS DRIVING AT 20 MPH ON CITY STREETS WHEN A SMALL ROCK HIT THE LOWER PART OF WINDSHIELD. NORMALLY YOU GET A ROCK CHIP AND YOU HAVE TIME TO SEAL. I HAD ZERO TIME TO GET WINDSHIELD FIXED AS THE WINDSHIELD SPLIT WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. WINDSHIELD SPLITTING SO FAST FOR SUCH A LITTLE ROCK CHIP CAN BE HAZARDOUS.

AN OBJECT HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND SEVERAL MINUTES AFTERWARDS, MY WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED. I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO INTERSTATE 35E-SOUTH IN MINNESOTA.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED FROM THE EDGE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOUT 8-10 INCHES ACROSS RIGHT IN THE DRIVERS LINE OF VISION. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A POINT OF IMPACT FROM DEBRIS. THE CRACK HAS SINCE EXTENDED HALF WAY ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD 4 DAYS LATER. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND HAVE OWNED IT ABOUT 7 WEEKS

WHILE DRIVING I HAD A VERY TINY ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD(BARELY MADE A NOISE) WITHIN ABOUT 10 SECONDS THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED A GOOD 20 INCHES. AFTER STOPPING AND INSPECTING THE AREA I COULD ONLY FIND A PIN WHOLE AREA WHERE(?)MAYBE SOMETHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FEB.2020 AND ABOUT A MONTH AFTER OWNING THE CAR THE SALEMAN CALLED ME AND ACTUALLY TOLD ME THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING OR HEARING OF WINDSHILDS CRACKING AND SOME FOR NO REASON. MY DAUGHTER ALSO INFORMED ME THAT SHE HAD SEEN SEVERAL STATEMENTS FROM OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND IT APPEARS THERE IS A CLASS ACTION AGAINST SUBARU.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I HEARD A LOUD POP. I LOOKED AROUND AND I NOTICED MY WINDSHIELD HAD A HUGE COMBINATION CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I DIDN'T SEE ANY OBJECT FLY TOWARDS THE CAR OR TRUCKS NEARBY. I WAS DRIVING ON THE 2ND LANE FROM THE RIGHT. IT WAS ABOUT 100 DEGREES F AND 5 MINS BEFORE I HAD TURNED ON THE AC AT THE LOWEST TEMP AND FAN SPEED TO MEDIUM-HIGH.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET IN TOWN TODAY, 8/3/2020 WHEN MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS GOING 35MPH. IT CRACKED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE TO THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD IN THE CENTER. I CALLED SUBARU IMMEDIATELY AND WAS INFORMED THAT WINDSHIELDS ARE NOT WARRANTIED. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH 2020. I WAS GIVEN WINDSHIELD REPAIR COMPANIES BY THE LOCAL SUBARU DEALER. I REACHED OUT TO ONE COMPANY AND IM WAITING FOR THEM TO SCHEDULE A TIME AND DATE TO REPLACE MY WINDSHIELD. MY VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SINCE THE CRACK IS DIRECTLY IN THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD DIRECTLY AT EYE LEVEL.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN COVERED PARKING LOT OUT OF THE SUN. AIR TEMP HIGH 80S. THE WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A CRACK STARTING IN THE TOP MIDDLE DESCENDING TO THE MIDDLE WHERE IT CURVED TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SIDE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON THE STREET OVERNIGHT WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE WINDSHIELD. NEXT MORNING THERE WAS A CRACK FROM THE EDGE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE TO ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE LENGTH OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE IS NO IMPACT MARKING ON THE WINDSHIELD.

WINDSHIELD ROCK CHIP. WHILE DRIVING EASTBOUND ON I-90 OUTSIDE OF SEATTLE A ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND IMMEDIATELY CRACKED IT. THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT OF ROCK CHIPS TO THE WINDSHIELD. I HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD TWO CHIPS WITHIN A MONTH OF EACH ONE. I MADE AN INSURANCE CLAIM AFTER THE SECOND CHIP BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD SPLIT. THIS WAS IN MARCH 2020. THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED AND IS NOW CHIPPED ALREADY/ AGAIN. A COMPLAINT WILL ALSO BE FILED WITH SUBARU AS THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE WINDSHIELD HAS CHIPPED BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT WINDSHIELDS. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD YET.

WINDSHIELD HAS CRACKED 2 TIMES.

ABNORMAL CHIP IN WINDSHIELD CAUSING A CRACK STARTING TO SPREAD. NOTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD THAT I RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 2 MONTHS OLD WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPAIRED WITH DRILL/EPOXY FROM A CERTIFIED REPAIR PERSON THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A SIDE STREET FROM HOME.

LARGE CHIP IN WINDSHIELD CAUSED BY NOTHING. THIS IS THE SECOND CHIP IN A 2 WEEK PERIOD THAT IS NOW CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD TO BECOME QUESTIONABLE. I CAME OUT TO THE CAR IN THE MORNING WHICH WAS GARAGED TO FIND A LARGE CHIP. THE CAR WAS NOT BEING DRIVEN, BUT WAS PARKED IN A GARAGE.

ANOTHER CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS THE THIRD CHIP IN A MONTH PERIOD, LESS THAN 4000 MILES ON A BRAND NEW CAR. HAD TO HAVE THE CHIP AND LINE/RUN FIXED BY A CERTIFIED REPAIR PERSON WHO EVEN QUESTIONED WHY HE HAD FIXED THE VEHICLE NOW 3 TIMES! I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET TO THE GROCERY STORE, WHICH IS LESS THAN 5 MILES AWAY ROUND TRIP AND THE CHIP HAPPENED. NOTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD, NO ROCKS, NOTHING.

DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY FROM A RELATIVES HOUSE, GOING APPROX 65 AND WAS HIT BY SOMETHING SMALL, COULD NOT VERIFY WHAT IT WAS, BUT PRESUME IT WAS A ROCK. UPON IMPACT, IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT, WHICH SCARED EVERYONE IN THE CAR. THE DAMAGE TOOK ITS TOLL ON THE WINDSHIELD WHERE IT LEFT A HUGE BASEBALL SIZE BREAK AND A SMALLER BREAK ABOVE IT. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN DAMAGED AND I PURCHASED NEW IN OCTOBER 2019. IT JUST TURNED 6000 MILES AS I JUST HAD THE 6K SERVICE DONE ON IT RECENTLY.
