I own a 2020 Impreza Hatchback with 18k miles. A significant crack appeared in the windshield out of nowhere, literally while parked in a safe environment. I was advised by Subaru corporate and my local dealership that this is not covered by warranty and would have to make a claim with my insurance. I can provide pictures and further detailed information if so required.

Driving at 40 mph without hitting a bump, and without a lit "hood ajar" warning light, the car's hood flew open smashing the windshield and obstructing the driver's view. This occurred when the vehicle only had 10,022 miles on it and was less than 1 year in service. The vehicle was on a city street with no other traffic. Vehicle was towed to dealer, under dealer's protest.

Bought the car 12/21 first windshield cracked 1/28 while sitting in my driveway over the weekend. Dealer claims there was a chip caused by a rock but I think the "chip" was caused by the cracking of the windshield dropped off at dealer 2/4 the first replacement is broken takes a week to get another picked up 2/11 $500 replacement windshield cracked 2/20 - while driving. I did not see or hear anything impact the windshield but I did here the glass crack. I feel that these windshields are unreasonably fragile and should last longer than 9 days under normal usage.
