Windshields, particularly the eyesight equipped models, are extremely prone to cracking, arguably defective. 5 months after purchasing new, I got a rock chip while driving. When getting it repaired it spiderwebbed, requiring total replacement of the windshield. 2 weeks after replacement(at the price of $900), it got another rock chip while driving on the highway. A year later it got another rock chip while highway driving, and a crack has started to spread despite being repaired. Depending on how far it spreads, I'll be on the third windshield in less than 50K miles/3 years of ownership. My other high mileage cars(130K and 225K) are both still on original factory glass.

My 2017 Subaru Outback has parasitic battery drain that kills the battery. The car won't start making the vehicle unreliable. This is a routine issue with Subaru and needs to be addressed.

I purchased a brand new 2017 Subaru Outback, in Nov 2019, windshield crack by itself without any external influence during normal driving @ 9200 miles, got new one replaced on 12/5/19, then after 3 months driving less 500 miles, it cracked again. Made report to Subaru of America, they deny the defective of their windshield and refuse to be responsible for the replacement cost..

While I was in my parked car I turned on my windshield defroster and my windshield wipers. When I did this - the windshield spontaneously cracked.I watched the crack spread across the windshield. The car was stationary at the time of the crack. This is a known issue with 2017 - 2019 Subaru Outback, forester and crosstrek models. Both the dealership (flow Subaru of winston-salem)and Subaru of America refuse to fix this known issue.

Two episodes of spontaneous chipping/cracking. First chip happened in the lower right corner when parked in parking lot. This happened before the first 3 month check-up. We choose not to replace it as there was no evidence of spidering and it did not affect driver vision. Second crack happened today, while parked in a garage, at around 40K miles. This is a large crack that is arising from the medial bottom aspect of the windshield.

Unable to get key out of ignition when vehicle is in park (in garage or anywhere else). Found issue on forums many times. Seems to be related to gear assembly. Messing with shifting, back into park, wiggling key eventually get it out. Sometimes it takes 5 minutes. Happens at least 40% of time.

When going to park, I shift the car into park and turn off the engine but the key is stuck in the ignition. This has happened every time I've driven for the last three days. The only way to get it to come out is to turn it back on and trying shifting into park again, occasionally several times before it recognizes that it's in park and will release the key.

Cannot remove ignition key when done driving. Not always, but randomly.

The windshield on the car cracked. I don't think it was hit by anything. If it was, it must've been a very small object. I noticed it when I went out to the car one morning on my way to work. I had someone come out and repair it as best they could, so there is a mark at the bottom of the crack where they drilled to stop it from getting worse.

In February 2019, a crack appeared starting at the base of the windshield. Throughout the day it grew to go across the windshield. Subaru said I had to fix it there due to eyesight. In December 2018, the same thing happened. I noticed a small crack when I got into my car. Nothing hit it. Throughout the day the crack spread about two feet. This all happened in less than a year. I do not think a crack occurred from being hit by anything. I think it's a defective windshield. The vehicle was stationary both times that I saw the initial crack.

Key gets stuck in the ignition. The car drives, turns off, and turns on like normal however, when the car is put into park, turned off, and the the key is attempted to be removed the key does not come out. It only comes out after sometimes an hour or more of putting the car into drive and then into park again. This happens every time I attempt to remove the key.

Keys get locked into ignition when in park and ready to leave car and are impossible to remove.

Windshield cracked while car was parked inside garage. Crack was significant and appeared for no reason. Windshield was replaced on 2/13/19 and eyesight had to be recalibrated. It is our belief that this is consistent with the lawsuit re: 2017-19 Outback windshield cracks.
