2020 SUBARU FORESTER Visibilitywiper Problems

DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET AT A CONSTANT SPEED OF ~45 MPH, A SMALL PEBBLE FLEW INTO THE WINDSHIELD AND CREATED A CRACK WHICH FURTHER EXPANDED AS A HAIRLINE CRACK WHICH IMPAIRS VISION THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AND CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH THE EYESIGHT SAFETY FEATURES. AT THIS SPEED, THIS INCIDENT SHOULD NOT CAUSE A CRACK.

NIGHT DRIVING DARK LINE ACROSS ENTIRE WINDSHIELD CANNOT SEE ROAD AHEAD OF YOU UNLESS DUCKING YOUR HEAD LOOKING OUT SIDEWAYS. *TR

FRONT WINDSCREEN SPONTANEOUSLY CRACK WITH NO IMPACT.

VEHICLE WAS ENTERING ONTO HIGHWAY AND A SMALL PEBBLE STRUCK TOP MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD, CAUSED A L SHAPED CRACK TO FORM BEHIND REAR VIEW MIRROR AND EXTENDING TO THE LEFT(INSIDE VIEW), ABOUT 10 - 15 IN LONG. THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN A MONTH OLD, AND I HAVE NOTICED OTHERS HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH SUBARU WINDSHIELDS EASILY CRACKING ON NEW FORESTER MODELS. SAFETY RISK, WINDSHIELD GLASS NOT BEING DURABLE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. *TR

WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, A ROCK FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT THE WINDSHIELD IN WHAT NORMAL IS A SMALL ROCK CHIP WAS AN IMMEDIATE 10' CRACK TO THE WINDSHIELD. THE ORIGINAL ROCK IMPACT IS NOT DEEP AND EXTREMELY TINY BUT IT CAUSED A CRACK THAT ENDED UP BEING A FULL WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT WITH EYESIGHT. EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A ROCK CHIP REPAIR. VERY UPSET SINCE SUBARU OF AMERICA DID NOT DO AS MUCH AS I THOUGHT THEY WOULD FOR A 9 YEAR SUBARU OWNER AND FOUR SUBARU'S LATER. THIS WINDSHIELD (LOANER) ADDED TO MY ENGINE REPLACEMENT COST FROM MY CURRENT SUBARU. *TR

WINDSHIELD CRACKED ALL THE WAY ACROSS WITH NO CRACK OR ROCK CHIP. THERE IS LESS THAN 5K MILES ON IT.

MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED ALL THE WAY ACROSS WHILE STATIONARY, PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE IN ANY CAR I'VE EVER OWNED. I NEEDED TO CALL MY INSURANCE TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED DECEMBER 2019. 3 WEEKS LATER, A VERTICAL CRACK APPEARED IN THE CENTER-BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD THIS OCCURRED AFTER A COLLECTION OF SUNNY DAYS WITH NO VISIBLE INITIATION POINT (ROCK, CHIP, ETC.). THE CRACK BEGAN BELOW THE CENTER POINT OF THE STATIONARY WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE CRACK APPEARED AFTER 4 DAYS OF BEING IDLE IN THE DRIVEWAY. THERE IS A LARGER LAWSUIT AROUND SUBARU WINDSHIELDS THAT I BELIEVE FITS THIS ISSUE PRETTY WELL. *TR

NO ROCK HAD HIT THAT SIDE OF THE WINDOW. I PARK AT A BBQ ON THE SIDE OF A RESIDENTIAL ROAD, NO CARS DRIVE PAST, AND THREE HOURS LATER I HAVE A TWO FOOT CRACK IN MY WINDOW. BEST PART, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND HE USED HIS PHONE CAMERA TO ZOOM IN AS FAR AS POSSIBLE TO SAY IT WAS A ROCK CHIP AND THEN PICKED AT IT TO MAKE IT LOOK EVEN MORE SO. *TR

SITTING AT STOP LIGHT . LIGHT TURNED GREEN I STARTED THRU THE INTERSECTION AND HEARD A SNAP. WIFE MADE COMMENT THAT A STAR HAD FORMED ON THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BELOW FIELD OF VISION. NO CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME AND CARS WERE AT LEAST 10 FEET AWAY FROM ME GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. SPEED HAD NOT RESUMED TO THE SPEED LIMIT OF 40 MPH (ABOUT 20 MPH). *TR

MY WIFE AND I WENT ON A RIDE (SUBURBAN DRIVING, SLOW SPEEDS). IT WAS < THAN A 20-MINUTE TRIP. WHEN WE GOT BACK WE NOTICED A SMALL DING AT THAT BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD NEAR THE HOOD. IT SPREAD VERY QUICKLY. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 1600 MILES ON IT SINCE THE END OF DECEMBER 2019. IT NOW MID-MAY AND THIS ALREADY HAPPENED WITH LIMITED USE. THE CAR IS STORED IN A GARAGE WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT WE NEED TO PAY $1300 FOR A NEW WINDSHIELD.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED AND THE CRACK SPREAD ACROSS THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD.

I WAS DRIVING, NO CAR OR ANYTHING WAS IN FRONT OF ME, HEARD A POP THEN NOTICED AT LARGE CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD. THE WINDSHIELD IS SMOOTH, NOTHING HIT IT.

PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW IN LATE OCTOBER 2019. WINDSHIELD CRACKED, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, IN MID-DECEMBER 2019. IN OTHER WORDS, NOTHING STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD TO CAUSE THE CRACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 SUBARU FORESTER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS SPOUSE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, A SMALL OBJECT HIT THE UPPER LEFT-HAND CORNER OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CAUSING A CRACK IN THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THE CONTACT CONTACTED SUBARU OF EL CAJON (900 ARNELE AVE, EL CAJON, CA 92020, (619) 440-0404) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WINDSHIELD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT WINDSHIELD WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, IT WAS STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS MANUFACTURED WITH A THINNER GLASS AND IT WAS COMMON FOR FRACTURE TO OCCUR WITH LITTLE TO NO IMPACT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 4,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 SUBARU FORESTER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, AN UNKNOWN INSECT HIT THE LOWER DRIVER SIDE CORNER OF THE WINDSHIELD. AN HOUR LATER, A 14'' CRACK BEGAN TO FORM AT THE EXACT SPOT WHERE THE INSECT MADE IMPACT WITH THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SUBARU OF ONTARIO (1195 AUTO CENTER DR, ONTARIO, CA 91761) WHERE AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE TO HAVE THE WINDSHIELD REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE QUALITY OF THE WINDSHIELD WAS UNSAFE AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,200.*BF*JB

STRESS CRACK STARTING UNDER THE SEAL OF THE WINDSHIELD. CAR WAS GOING 15 MPH IN A HOUSING NEIGHBORHOOD.

I NOTICED A CHIP IN MY WINDSHIELD THAT SEEMED TO APPEAR OVERNIGHT IN MY GARAGE. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY SENT SOMEONE TO FILL IT THE NEXT DAY. WHEN HE CAME TO FILL THE CHIP, HE SAID THAT IT CRACKED AND SPREAD AFTER HE FILLED IT. I THEN NOTICED THERE ARE LITERALLY OVER 10 CHIPS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE WINDSHIELD NOT INCLUDING THAT ONE. I BOUGHT THIS FORESTER ON OCTOBER 31, 2019 BRAND NEW AND AM A VERY CAUTIOUS DRIVER. THERE IS NO WAY THERE SHOULD BE THIS MANY CHIPS IN MY WINDSHIELD AND FOR THE WINDSHIELD TO CRACK FROM A CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN FILLING A VERY SMALL CHIP.

GOT INTO VEHICLE IN THE MORNING, TURNED ON AC, WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHILE PARKED.

WALKED OUT TO GARAGE THIS MORNING, AND NOTICED THE WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED. I AM NOT AWARE OF ANYTHING HITTING THE WINDSHIELD, AND THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 3,000 MILES ON IT, PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY 2020.

DRIVING ON A ROAD GOING ABOUT 30, WET AROUND A CORNER A TRUCK PASSED ME GOING THE OPPOSITE WAY. KICKING UP A ROCK THAT HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND IT CRACKED INSTANTLY, MORE THAN HALFWAY TO THE PASSENGER SIDE

WINDSHIELD BROKE FOR NO REASON OUR CAR IS ONLY 2 MONTHS OLD CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE

WINDSHIELD CRACKED BY SMALL PEBBLE ON 3RD DAY OF LEASE OF CAR. DRIVING APPROX. 30MPH WHEN CAR GOING ONLY A LITTLE FASTER CHANGED LANES AND THREW PEBBLE. ON A PAVED ROAD.

THERE IS A APPROXIMATELY 2 FT LONG WINDSHIELD CRACK EMANATING FROM THE LOWER DRIVER'S SIDE AND EXTENDING TOWARD THE CENTER OF WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK WAS NOTICED WHILE DRIVING BUT TIME OF ORIGIN IS UNKNOWN. A TINY ROCK CHIP IS LOCATED A FEW INCHES FROM THE START OF THE CRACK AND SEEMS INCONSISTENT WITH THE LENGTH OF THE CRACK, BASED ON PAST EXPERIENCE WITH ROCK CHIPS.

MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED ON JANUARY 14, 2020, WHICH WAS EXACTLY ONE MONTH AND ONE DAY AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT REPAIRED YET SINCE I AM TRYING TO KEEP TRACK OF THE LAWSUIT AGAINST SUBARU, BUT I WANTED IT DOCUMENTED THAT I AM HAVING A WINDSHIELD ISSUE AS MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD.

WINDSHIELD CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED BY INSURANCE ROUGHLY 5 WEEKS FROM PURCHASE. DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN SUDDENLY I HEARD A LITTLE SNAP, THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK START TO FORM. GREW TO A LITTLE LARGER THAN THE DIAMETER OF A QUARTER BEFORE MY INSURANCE HAD SOMEONE REPAIR IT 6 DAYS LATER

FRONT WINDSHIELD ON DRIVERS SIDE, UPPER PORTION, CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ON AN ON-RAMP TO AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY.

2020 SUBARU FORESTER SPORT PURCHASED NEW 3.5 MONTHS AGO. VEHICLE WAS DRIVING ALONG LOCAL HIGHWAY WHEN A ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD. IMMEDIATELY THERE WAS A 5 INCH CRACK FORMED DIRECTLY ABOVE THE DRIVER SEAT. OVER THE NEXT 10 MINUTES, THE CRACK EXPANDED DOWNWARD INTO THE DRIVER LINE OF VIEW AND ACROSS THE WIDTH OF THE CAR ANOTHER 10 INCHES. EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND PARKED INSIDE A GARAGE OVERNIGHT, THE CRACK GREW ANOTHER 3 INCHES.

HAD VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN ONE MONTH AND NOTICED A CRACK ON WINDSHIELD FROM TOP MIDDLE AT REARVIEW MIRROR LEVEL. CRACK WAS 10-12 INCHES BY END OF DAY. NEXT DAY NOTICE SMALL CHIP ON BOTTOM OF WINDSHIELD. BY END OF SECOND DAY THAT CHIP EXPANDED TO14 INCH CRACK FROM BOTTOM MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD. NOW HAVE 12-14INCH CRACK FROM TOP MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD AND 12-14INCH CRACK FROM BOTTOM MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD. I BELIEVE BOTH OF THESE CRACKS TO HAVE ORIGINATED FROM SMALL ROCK STRIKES ON FREEWAY DRIVING, BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH EXTENSIVE DAMAGE FROM WHAT IS CONSIDERED NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING AFTER DRIVING FOR LESS THAN 2000 MILES ON VEHICLE.

RETURNING FROM VT ON ROAD THAT I HAVE FREQUENTLY TRAVELLED WITH NO ISSUE. THIS TIME DRIVING MY 2 MONTH OLD 2020 SUBARU FORESTER SPORT ON I-95 AND I NOTICEO A SMALL DING ALMOST DEAD CENTER BOTTOM OF FRONT WINDSHIELD. I HAD HEARD COUPLE SMALL PINGS WHILE DRIVING, BUT NOTHING STRONG OR LOUD, AND WAS SUPRISED BY THE DING IN GLASS. OVER REMAINING 2 HR DRIVE HOME, CHIP TURNS INTO ABOUT 5-6 INCH CRACK THAT RUNS UPWARD. NEXT MORNING CRACK IS OVER 10 INCHES. I WAS STRUCK BY THE INITIAL DING IN GLASS, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO UNUSUAL AND INTENSE NOISE OF STONE HITTING THE GLASS. AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACK, EVEN IF I HAVE HAD WINDSHIELDS DINGED BY STONES ON HIGHWAY. STRUCK ME THAT THIS WAS UNUSUAL. A MONTH LATER, I BEGAN READING ABOUT THE POSSIBLE DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELDS ON 2020 SUBARU FORESTERS AND WONDER IF MY...

ON APPROXIMATELY 02/06/2020 I NOTICED A VERY SMALL CHIP IN MY WINDSHIELD. I ASSUMED IT WAS FROM A THROWN STONE, BUT I CAN'T CONFIRM THAT. ON 02/12/2020, I PARKED THE CAR IN A LONG TERM PARKING LOT NEAR DETROIT METRO AIRPORT. WHEN WE RETURNED ON 02/20/2020, THE SMALL CHIP HAD EXPANDED TO A FULL CRACK SPANNING FROM THE EDGE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE TO NEARLY THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN MOVED, OR EVEN STARTED. IT HAD SAT STATIONARY, IN THE OPEN AIR, IN THIS PARKING LOT WHILE WE WERE AWAY ON VACATION.

THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT WITH MY WINDSHIELD BEING HIT WITH A ROCK AND CRACKING. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED 1/18/2020 COMPLAINT #11300348. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED 2/22/2020. DRIVING ON I5 IN TACOMA, WA A ROCK FROM A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STRUCK MY WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE LOWER PORTION OF THE WINDSHIELD. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW ON 11/1/2019 AND NOW HAS TWO CRACKS IN IT. THE FIRST CRACK WAS ATTEMPTED TO BE REPAIRED BUT UNABLE.

MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE CRACK BEGAN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOUT MIDWAY UP FROM THE VERY LEFT EDGE. I NOTICED IT WHEN I PARKED MY CAR AT MY MOTHERS HOUSE HAVING DRIVEN ONE HOUR TO GET TO HER HOUSE. IT WAS ABOUT A 3-4 INCH CRACK GOING HORIZONTALLY FROM THE EDGE. IN ONE WEEK IT IS NOW OVER A FOOT LONG. I DO NOT RECALL MY WINDSHIELD HAVING BEEN HIT BY A ROCK OR ANYTHING AND I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY DRIVER OF MY VEHICLE.

WE NOTICED A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD THAT SEEMED TO APPEAR OVERNIGHT. WE HAD NO MEMORY OF ANY SORT OF PEBBLE IMPACT. THERE WAS NO DIVOT IN THE WINDSHIELD AS FAR AS WE COULD SEE, JUST A CRACK OF ~ 3 INCHES NEAR THE LOWER CENTER OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD.

I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD WITH ONE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND A CAR NEXT TO ME. WITHOUT HEARING ANY IMPACT OR SEEING ANY ROCKS, I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE BOTTOM, MIDDLE OF MY WINDSHIELD. IT WAS ABOUT 6 INCHES LONG WITH NO IMPACT MARK. THE CRACK CONTINUED TO EXPAND BEFORE GETTING FIXED 2 DAYS LATER.

I NOTICED 4 SMALL CHIPS IN THE WINDSHIELD WHEN I WAS DRYING MY CAR OFF AFTER WASHING IT. I DO HALF MY DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND AM ASSUMING THE CHIPS ARE FROM DEBRIS BEING KICKED UP FROM THE VEHICLE'S IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE HEARD A FEW PINGS ON THE WINDSHIELD BUT DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING AT THE TIMES IT HAPPENED UNTIL TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AFTER DRYING MY CAR.

WINDSHIELD CRACKED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT SIDE. THIS OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY BUT WINDS WERE HEAVY IN THE AREA. ASSUMPTION IS A SMALL ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD AS I CAN SEE A MINUSCULE CHIP WHERE THE CRACK STARTS ON ONE SIDE. VEHICLE IS 3 MONTHS OLD.

OWNED NEW CAR LESS THAN A MONTH AND PASSANGER NOTICED CRACK ORIGINATING NEAR BOTTOM OF GLASS MIDDLE PASSANGER RIGHT SIDE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK GREW TO 8 INCHES THAT DAY. I HAVE NO RECOLLECTION OF A STONE OR OBJECT HITTING AND THE LOCATION SEEMS UNLIKELY PLACE.

SPONTANEOUS CRACK IN MOONROOF GLASS WHILE PARKED IN A GARAGE. LITTLE TO NO TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS AND NO MECHANICAL PRESSURE (DRIVING OR OPENING THE MOONROOF).

THE WINDSHIELD IS CHIPPING AND ONLY 8000 MILES ON THE CAR. DO NOT TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL I'VE OWNED TEN OTHER CARS AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED.

ON 2/13/2020 MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED OVER 12 INCHES LONG IN A MATTER OF SECONDS WHILE IN MOTION ON A STREET. THERE WAS NO HIT SOUND. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE CLAIM A VERY SMALL RICK HIT THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING THE CRACK AND MANUFACTURER WARANTY WONT COVER. I CANT BELIEVE A TINY ROCK THAT BARELY HAS AN IMPACT POINT WILL HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND COURSE SUCH A BIG CRACK IN A MATTER OF SECONDS.

PURCHASED CAR NEW, LAST WEEK OF JANUARY 2020. WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK I FOUND NUMEROUS SMALL CHIPS IN THE WINDSHIELD AND THERE WERE NO ROCKS THAT HAD STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING 45 MOH ON A TWO LANE ROAD A SMALL ROCK WAS KICKED FROM AN ONCOMIG CAR AND PUT A LARGE CHIP AND CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD. I GOT THE CHIP AND CRACK REPAIRED FROM SAFELITE HOWEVER AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE NEW FORESTERS. MY PREVIOUS 08 SUBARUS WINDSHIELD NEVER HAD TO BE FIXED AND IT HAD BEEN DRIVEN OVER 180000 MILES. IT TOOK LARGE ROCKS AND JUST RECEIVED SMALL NICKS. I HAVE ONLY 1148 MILES ON THIS NEW CAR AND ALREADY HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE WINDSHIELD REPAIRED. SUBARU NEEDS TO STEP UP AND REVISE THE THICKNESS OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IS UNSAFE.

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

TWO DAYS AGO, AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS, WE HAD A CRACK APPEAR AND GROW FROM THE TOP PORTION OF THE WINDSHIELD. ON OUR DRIVE YESTERDAY, THERE WAS ONE INCIDENT WHERE ICE CAME DOWN FROM A POWER LINE AND HIT THE CAR, BUT I'M POSITIVE WE WEREN'T HIT BY ANY ROCKS. AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A SKIN OF ICE OFF OF A POWER LINE, NOT A LARGE CHUNK OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT. I LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND, AND EVERY VEHICLE ON THE ROADS HERE HAS TO DEAL WITH SIMILAR SITUATIONS AFTER EVERY WINTER STORM. WE DIDN'T SEE ANY CRACK RIGHT AWAY, BUT ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER NOTICED A 4" CRACK THAT HAS NOW GROWN TO ROUGHLY 16", AND IS RIGHT IN THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VIEW. I'VE DONE SOME GOOGLING AND READING, AND I'M A LITTLE WORRIED AFTER READING ABOUT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR...

FEBRUARY 5, 2020, JUST GOT IN THE CAR TO START DRIVING IT AND NOTICED THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO REASON STARTING AT THE VERY BOTTOM CENTER AND IS ABOUT 8 INCHES LONG ALREADY. IT WAS NOT THERE EARLIER IN THE DAY. IT JUST APPEARED SUDDENLY AND COULD NOT SEE ANY ROCK CHIP IN THE AREA.

I HAVE A BRAND NEW, 2020 FORESTER (TOURING) . WHEN I HAD IT FOR 21 DAYS, I PICKED UP A SMALL ROCK IN THE WINDSHIELD.THE ROCK WAS SMALL BUT IT RUINED MY WINDSHIELD. IT I IMMEDIATELY SPREAD ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD AND IS NOW COVERS THREE AREAS AND MORE THAN 1/2 OF MY WINDSHIELD . I HAVE BEEN READING UP ON SUBARU ISSUES AND I UNDERSTAND THE WINDSHIELDS ARE A PROBLEM...BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS. THE WINDSHIELD HAS TO BE REPLACED AND THE ESTIMATE IS OVER $1400. TRAVELING FROM CORPUS CHRISTI TO SAN ANTONIO ON HWY 37

DRIVING ON I-5 IN SEATTLE AREA, A ROCK FROM AN SUV HIT MY WINDSHIELD CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE CHIP ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD IN THE LINE OF VISION.

CAR IS BRAND NEW. WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF PURCHASING ALREADY 3 CHIPS IN WINDSHIELD WHEN NO ROCKS WERE OBSERVED HITTING. ONE OF THE CHIPS IS IN FRONT OF THE EYESIGHT SYSTEM AND IF IT GROWS IT WILL HAMPER THE SAFETY SYSTEMS OF THE CAR. IT WILL COST ME AROUND 1700 DOLLARS TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2019. AS I BEGAN MY DRIVE TO WORK THE FOLLOWING FRIDAY (DECEMBER 6), I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE I PURCHASED WINDSHIELD REPAIR COVERAGE AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY STATED THAT I NEEDED TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE MY VEHICLE WASN'T IN THEIR SYSTEM YET. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO LOOK INTO IT AND GET BACK WITH ME. THE FOLLOWING MORNING WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE CRACK SPREAD TO MORE THAN 6 INCHES. I WAS TOLD THAT MY COVERAGE DOES NOT INCLUDE WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT, WHICH IS NOW REQUIRED DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE CRACK, AND THAT IT WOULD COST $859.19 TO DO SO.

WHEN THE FRONT WINDOWS ARE OPEN AND THEN CLOSED THEY ALWAYS COME UP FROM THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR WET. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER OR NOT THE CAR HAS RECENTLY BEEN TO THE CARWASH/ ITS BEEN RAINING OUTSIDE/ OR NOT. CONDITION HAS EXISTED SINCE I PURCHASED VEHICLE.
