The windshield on our 2019 Subaru Legacy cracked on Saturday 12/21/2019. There wasn't any crack in the morning when I drove to the office. The car was parked at a covered parking spot the whole day. In the evening, I noticed a crack on the driver's side while I was driving back. There was no impact on the windshield with pebble etc while driving during the day. When I researched online, I found out that many people are noticing their 2017-2019 Subaru car windshields are cracking like mine. So I am bringing this to your attention. I have to pay $500 deductible to my insurance this week and get it replaced.

I had the car less than a month and got home from work, parked the car in the garage and everything was fine, the very next morning when I went out to get in my car the windshield had a huge crack in it. I got the windshield replaced and in less than a month the windshield cracked again.

The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Legacy. The contact was unable to adjust the side mirrors to view the blindspots. The mirrors failed to adjust to a 15 degree angle to view the blindspots. The vehicle was taken to hendrick Subaru southpoint (200 kentington dr, durham, nc 27713) were the failure was unable to be diagnosed or repaired. The contact read articles that stated that the sideview mirrors should be able to adjust to see into the blindspots. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 175.

I've owned my 2019 Subaru Legacy for exactly one month. Yesterday, while driving on route 13 in Delaware, I saw a crack spread from the outside right side of the windshield on the passenger side of the card and spread for about 15 inches sort of in the shape of an "S". neither myself nor the passenger sitting in the front seat heard anything hit the car nor did we see anything. I took the car to the Subaru dealership this morning and I was told that something very tiny hit the windshield. How could something that tiny cause that kind of damage? I am still unable to see the impact. The Subaru windshields must be paper thin. I was informed by the service clerk that there was nothing that Subaru could do to help. I am extremely disappointed in their response.

I have bought my care on 04/08/2019 and since then the windshield is broken two times on the highway. The first time just two weeks after purchasing when commuting from work to home on highway 99 I felt a small rock hit the windshield which crack started to grow after 10-15 minutes and grew to the size of four times greater than dollar bill when was replaced.the second time I didn't even felt anything but when I got home after a long drive I realized a crack which grew fast. I feel like the quality of windshield is so low that even with a small rock it starts cracking. At least it should stay like a chip in the beginning.

Driving on an overpass at 45 mph, heard a pop and saw the windshield crack it front of me. It started at the bottom running upward the to the right. This happened before on 03/06/2019 at 3,300 miles and now again 09/09/2019 at 5,174 miles. Have researched and discovered many examples of the issues including past class action lawsuit.

My car is 2 weeks old. I used the defroster on Saturday night and on Sunday morning there was a crack on my windshield from the bottom center. Up and to the passenger's side. I do not hear a stone hit my windshield while driving. Subaru said it was a stone and is charging me over $700 to replace it. I have been driving for many years and have never gotten a crack like this. I believe it is a faulty windshield that cracked with the change in temperature.
