Windshield cracked for no reason.

- Silverton, OR, USA

On two separate occasions I was startled by a loud pop kind of noise coming from the windshield area while driving. Absolutely nothing was around to cause this either time and nothing whatsoever has hit the windshield since I've owned this car. I am the sole driver. On both occasions, I was driving down a straight road going 50mph on my way to work (a 10 minute commute). The morning after the second occurrence, I got into my car to find a crack on the lower passenger side of my windshield about 2/3S of the way down and starting from the outer edge. There had been no crack or any hint that something would happen when I left my car the day before. How does a crack just appear overnight with absolutely nothing to cause it? I have never in my life had this happen. The car was absolutely stationary, no nearby trees or anything that could cause any impact. Due to covid, the crack sat for quite some time, when I finally got to make it to the suburu dealership where I bought my car, they denied my claim. The techs said they could find no chip or origination for the crack... (because there wasn't one) the techs agreed it should have been covered under the warranty but suburu still denied my claim. I'm now out $1103

There is an 18 inch crack in our windshield. We heard a soft 'pop' noise when we were driving straight on a level asphalt road at a low speed. No rocks or other objects hit the glass. We looked around to see what it was and we noticed the crack. It is about 18 inches long and starts at the edge of the glass on the passenger side of the vehicle.

Windsheild cracked and has to be replaced

- Santa Fe, NM, USA

Was driving to work when a tiny rock hit my windshield about 3 inches from passenger side of glass. It was about halfway up the windshield. The rock hit was barley audible, almost didn't notice it. When I got to work I inspected it and found the slightest scratch, no chip, not any signs of a crack. So I didn't worry about it. When I got in my car at lunch noticed a crack from side to side of windshield. I can take my fingernail and feel the crack on both sides. I feel this is a safety issue. What are you supposed to do on road trips, stop and get your glass replaced every time you get a chip. I do not feel this car is safe to drive when the windshield is cracked from side to side. Not to mention you can get a ticket or told to park the car when it is in the drivers view!

I'll be replacing my windshield for the second time within a year tomorrow and having it repaired overall for the third time within a year. The first replacement was due to a small pebble kicking up from the highway causing a small star crack in my line of sight forcing a replacement because the patch still caused line of sight issues. Less than a month later another small pebble caused a second crack. This time a patch was fine and luckily was free. This morning I came out to my car, which had been parked all weekend, and when I got in saw that there is a long J shaped crack starting from the top of the windshield near the passenger side eyesight camera going all the way down and around the dot matrix pattern that comes down the windshield near the rear view mirror. These windshields are terrible and I've never had an issue with a windshield before owning a Subaru. It's unfortunate because the rest of the car is great. If you're going to buy a Subaru probably prepare for an annual windshield replacement and get ready for that deductible.

The windshield on our 2019 Subaru Legacy cracked on Saturday 12/21/2019. There wasn't any crack in the morning when I drove to the office. The car was parked at a covered parking spot the whole day. In the evening, I noticed a crack on the driver's side while I was driving back. There was no impact on the windshield with pebble etc while driving during the day. When I researched online, I found out that many people are noticing their 2017-2019 Subaru car windshields are cracking like mine. So I am bringing this to your attention. I have to pay $500 deductible to my insurance this week and get it replaced.
