So I’m currently at the dealership waiting for my 2 hour hitch install, and 4.5 hrs later, and I had plenty of time to walk the parking lot a few times, and saw there are 3 other newer Subaru with the same cracked windshield. The service liaison (window tech also) told me he gets maybe one every couple of weeks in, and when I asked and told him the what for! Must be the day to assess windshields, jk!! It was caused by a rock within 2 weeks of owning, the dealer put the first 300 miles and couple of scratches I could the day they delivered, I wasn’t aware of any damage at that time, so who knows when or how? My second new Subaru - I’m at 14 months, 50k on the first with zero issues!

Don't know if it's worth yelling about but it's definitely frustrating. When researching them it came up it was a common issue so I half expected it, and the city I was living used pebbles when it snowed rather than sand so got approximately 10 chips before hitting 25,000 kms, but the last little rock hit in a different province causing a crack and it cracked immediately, the rock hit and within minutes I could hear it making a noise that sounded similar to ice cracking on a lake. It seems to grow about 2-3 inches every day, and I'm not sure if I should get it repaired under insurance or pay out of pocket as I haven't priced it yet.
Will have to check my paperwork, but it's something I really don't have time to deal with right now, but unfortunately I'll have to do an out of province inspection before I can insure it, sooo that'll be another expenditure ughhh not even sure how much a new one costs but if I repair it, how long before I have to get another installed if it's the same issue? Anyone else have had this issue in Canada and how often has it happened? I did get the smart program, but I don't think it covers cracks, just the chips.. annoying, costly, pain in the a$$... Anyway, I love everything else about the car lol it's amazing on gas, lots of room, and fits all our camping gear! Going to be an amazing summer vehicle!
