My windshield appeared to crack for no reason. The crack randomly appeared one day without a corresponding incident (no previous chips/crack in that area and nothing hitting my windshield). The crack began on the edge of the windshield in the upper corner on the passenger side and has continued to spread. There is no mark or indication in that area that the windshield was hit. The dealership mentioned when I purchased the car that I should get the windshield warranty due to an excessive amount of windshield cracking in my area. They claimed Subaru even did an investigation into Subaru vehicles in Michigan due to the high windshield replacement rate. It appears to be a defective windshield that the company is aware of and not recalling. The crack has spread across 80% of the windshield at eye level. It must be replaced for safety reasons but Subaru says this is over $1,000 as they have to calibrate it.

In under two years, I have had to replace the windshield on my vehicle twice. The first time, a rock hit my windshield which caused a very small chip. The following afternoon, the chip had become a large crack the came down from the top of the windshield nearly halfway down the windshield. I paid the extra money to replace the windshield with oem glass. More recently (less than 1.5 years later), the wiper blades on my windshield were replaced. The one wiper blade would not let go and the blade came back down on the windshield with the spring. No marks were observed in the windshield. The following afternoon, a crack came up from the blade and ran across nearly 1/3 of the windshield. The date recorded is for the second incident.

I have had to replace the windshield of my 2018 Subaru Forester (purchased new) two times in less than 3 years due to (minor) rock strikes (highway driving) in the lower quarter of the windshield. I now have a third cracked windshield. I have been driving for 45 years and I don't believe I have ever had to replace a windshield until I bought this car! I have read that this is not an isolated incident with Subaru and that one lawsuit was settled and that 1-2 additional lawsuits, involving 2017-2019 Foresters are pending

- Beaverton, OR, USA

I was on the highway and my windshield suddenly cracked in my field of view, creating a safety hazard. Once stopped, I discovered that there was a tiny chip near the bottom center of the windshield, near the heating element beneath the wipers, so small that I was unaware of anything ever hitting it while driving. Something so small should not have compromised the windshield in such a major way, making it difficult for me to see.
