problem #6

Jul 012019

Ascent

  • 11,000 miles
Crack in windshield appeared w/out usual sound or sign of debris. Dealer said it could not be repaired, only replaced & all systems recalibrated at owner's expense. I have driven over 1 million miles & have never seen a crack w/ no debris or if any, so small it made no impact. Just a crack appeared like it was pressure on the glass causing the crack.

Was traveling on the interstate around 65 mph, tiny pebble hit windshield, chip in the windshield. We had it immediately repaired by a professional the next day. Vehicle sat in a garage overnight, never used after the repair and the next day, 12 inch long crack in windshield, not repairable at this point. Also, never even made one payment on the vehicle before this occurred and didnt even have 1K miles.

problem #4

The windshield has lot of little rock dings in it which no other windshield on any other vehicle I have ever owned had. When I put Subaru's replacement new windshield on it could have the same issues. The damage of the major crack is due to outside influence that I will have to replace the windshield and I have no windshield insurance but the small dings have to be addressed before I pay $826.65. The major crack happened while in motion as well as the many small dings on the highway and a few on city streets.

problem #3

Ascent

  • 650 miles
My car was parked. I saw a crack in the windshield (cause unknown) on the passenger side that began at the top glass and descended, then heading inwards towards the mirror. Over the course of 2 days, it has extended past the mirror into the driver view. The Subaru glass (agc automotive, dot-376, M8H4 AS1, 30E, lamisafe) could be faulty.

problem #2

Sep 062018

Ascent

  • 800 miles
I recently noticed the windshield has thousands of millions of glaring specks/dots when facing the sunlight in early morning or late afternoon. The windshield becomes so blurry and extremely annoying. This happens when I face lights even night times with oncoming vehicles kinda of glare. I cleaned with multiple solutions not going at all, one angle can be seen very grey colored dot. Took to dealer and also agreed with this. Not sure what are my next steps, but I want this NHTSA look at seriously. My car is just about 2 months and 2K miles on it as of now.
