problem #4

Forester

  • 1,750 miles
While parked at work, my window cracked about 10-12' right down the middle. It looks like it formed from a small pit in the window. Even though the car is maybe 5 weeks old, it looks like there are a bunch of these small pits all over the window which could be a manufacturing defect. My friend has a 2020 Forester that had the window crack in the same fashion after about 5 weeks of owning the car as well. I have attached a picture of the damage to the window.

Forester

I have owned the car only since Nov and on my first road trip last month the windshield cracked while driving home to new orleans from mobile, al. A cold front was coming through and it was raining. We drove from a warmer air mass into the colder air behind the cold front. At first we could not see the crack but when we noticed the crack it was already about 5 inches long and by the time we could stop to look at the windshield it had grown to over 18 inches long.03

Forester

With less that 800 miles I caught a chip in the windshield, safelite repaired that crack and filled it, then later that night with no cars around me another rock hits the windshield and it's got a huge crack...the car is a 2021 with less that 800 miles on and it and I need a new windshield already!! I've owned cars for years and this hasn't happened. I feel the glass is defective or weak.
