Forester

  • 5,800 miles
6/2/15 morning I drove my 2015 Subaru Forester to work. The windshield was not hit by a rock or anything else, there was no crack or damage on the windshield. I parked it in the company's parking lot at 7 am. In the afternoon when I was ready to go home at 4 pm, I found a long crack on the windshield. It was too large to repair and it must be replaced. I have heated windshield with eyesight cameras, it would cost under $500 to replace the windshield. Vehicle is less than 6,000 miles and less than 6 months old, and I've got a cracked windshield before its first oil change.

Forester

  • miles
The contact owns a 2015 Subaru Forester. While driving approximately 65 mph, a popping noise was heard from the front windshield before the glass began to crack. The crack was located on the driver side in front of the steering wheel and extended upwards approximately 4 inches before extending to the center of the windshield. The windshield was replaced, but the failure also occurred on the replacement window. Since obtaining the vehicle, the front windshield had been replaced three times for the same failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 4,000.

Forester

Bought car in anchorage and windshield cracked on way back to my father's home in fairbanks. Dealership reported no known problems with Subaru windshields, (which isn't apparently accurate). As of now, I'm living in Colorado and there are a million cracks in the windshield (a slight exaggeration). I'm hesitant to replace it, if it's merely going to start the process of cracking windshields all over again. Windshields are not cheap to replace.
