I went outside in the morning and my Subaru had a huge crack across the windshield. I have no idea what happened to cause the crack. The car was parked in the driveway right up in front of the garage. The crack radiated out across the entire windshield and rendered the eye-sight unable to work. Insurance state farm claim number is 19-B151-3T0

My 2019 Subaru Forester developed multiple chips on windshield in just 7 months (4500 miles). Dealer told me that it was due to bad roads/salt on the road. But I am driving my other vehicle (Toyota) on the same roads for past 5 years, and not a single chip/crack on it! the problem is definitely poor quality of windshield on 2019 Subaru Forester.

We had just purchased our new 2019 Subaru Forester in late March/early April 2019. In September 2019, we took a trip to spicer reservoir in California from the sf bay area in California. On our way back down the mountain, there were no cars in front of us. The weather was clear, and there was no wind. We we're descending down the mountain roads. Suddenly, the windshield made a loud pop sound, and crack started emerging from the windshield wiper area. There was no rock or impact that started the crack. Again, there were no cars in front of us that could have flung debris at us. We thought maybe it was caused by a pressure changed? we had no explanation for the crack. The crack continued to create a large, ~2 foot long, question mark-shaped crack into the center of the windshield. We inspected the crack and there is no impact mark at all, and it looks like the crack began below the bottom seal of the windshield. Replacement windshields were quoted in the thousands of dollars and we can't afford that. Reading other forum posts about this incident made it clear that this incident was not isolated to just our car.

I was driving last summer in New Jersey on a two-way road. I heard a slight crack sound. The windshield began to form a crack from the lower-left corner of my windshield and slowly spread toward the center. There were no cars near me so I knew another car could not have kicked up a stone. I parked and left the car for around one hour. When I returned, the crack had spread further across the windshield.

I purchased my 2019 Subaru Forester on 02/04/2019. Since that time, this is the second time I'm having to replace the windshield for what seems to be no apparent reason; meaning I didn't hear rocks striking the my windshield as is typical. I've owned approximately 8 vehicles prior to this and I don't recall having to replace a windshield more than one time. On both occasions, I've gone out to my vehicle to discover the cracks, not knowing how it happened. I purchased additional appearence & windshield protection for the interior of the car, ( carpets, interior fabric and the leather seats) not intending the windshield would be the thing to require the most repairs so far. At the rate of so far, two repairs per year, I'll have to tap into my auto insurance policy to complete the windshield repairs which defeats the purpose for purchasing the extra protection from Subaru. The first repair was done two months after purchase on 04/23/19. The second repair is pending, I have an appointment for second windshield replacement on Tuesday, 02/25/20.

Front windshield on our 2019 Subaru Forester limited cracked in 2 separate events within one month of ownership. The first event (front windshield crack) occurred on the initial drive home from the dealership. The vehicle was in motion on the highway (normal driving conditions) when the crack occurred spontaneously for no apparent reason. The crack began from the passenger's side edge of the windshield and stretched toward the center of the windshield. Photo attached. The second event (front windshield crack) occurred approximately 3 weeks later before the windshield was repaired. The vehicle was in motion on the highway (normal driving conditions) when the crack occurred spontaneously for no apparent reason. The crack began from the top of the windshield (middle) and stretched toward the center of the windshield. Photo attached. After the second event the front windshield was replaced. Invoice receipt attached. In my opinion, the front windshield grass on this vehicle was defective and the windshield's on this particular make/model should be further researched. Something is clearly wrong and I'm sure others are experiencing similar issues.

My vehicle was sitting in the garage and my wife had just returned from work. After putting the car in park, she heard what she thought was a low screech. When she looked up, a line was forming in the windshield from the steering wheel to about 10 inches across towards the passenger side. We have had 4 more instances where we have gotten into the car and another crack in the windshield is there. We currently have 5 lines of cracks in the windshield from no contact.

The windshield cracked for no reason. There was no collision and there are no marks of any rocks hitting the windshield. Seems to be a manufacturing defect.

One month after purchasing a brand new Forester off of the car lot, out of no where while driving the vehicle on an empty highway, a 4 inch hairline crack appeared on the driver's side of the windshield. The crack originated from the outer edge of the glass. When contacting my dealership I was informed that the $1,000 repair will not be covered under any warranty or insurance, even though there were only 800 miles on the car at the time of the incident.
