Windshield had a crack, that I thought was weird as I didn't hear a rock, but a crack. I saw that 2020 Subaru Outbacks had a lawsuit for defect. I found out weeks after I made an insurance claim to have my windshield fixed. I was driving on a highway when this happened.

- Edmond, OK, USA

My husband and I were driving on the highway for approximately 20 minutes, when we started to hear a crackling sound. Soon after, we watched the windshield start to crack on the driver's side. The crack continued to spread, and by the time we returned home, the crack extended further. We were driving straight at 61 mph when the crack started, no turns or bumps in the road at the time the crack appeared. This happened on our 2020 Outback touring with 2,300 miles, that we purchased October 2020.

I had almost the exact same experience with my windshield as another complaint I saw filed. My 2020 Subaru Outback had its windshield cracked while traveling southbound on a highway in SC on Dec 22, 2020. The crack started small and grew quickly over the course of my travel to about 16 - 18 inches. The windshield had to be replaced and the eyesight safety system needed to be recalibrated which was both time consuming and expensive. I have traveled a lot in my life with multiple cars but never experienced a cracked windshield that spreaded like it did with my new Outback. It is disappointing and concerning after reading more about the pending lawsuit on defective windshields.

My 2020 Subaru Outback had its windshield cracked while traveling on a Texas highway (South padre - austin) on Dec 27, 2020. The crack started small and grew quickly over the course of the travel to almost 20 inches. The windshield had to be replaced, which was expensive, considering the eyesight safety systems needed to be recalibrated. I have traveled over 200K miles in the us in multiple cars but never experienced a cracked windshield that happened so quickly and spontaneously as it happened on the Subaru Outback. I understand that this could be a one-off experience but reading more about the pending lawsuit on defective windshields made me submit this complaint.

- Austin, TX, USA

A 12-inch ling crack developed spontaneously in the windshield while the car was parked in my driveway overnight. Only ~3,470 miles on the car. The crack started at the bottom-middle and went upward and toward the passenger side in a J shape. There were no signs of an impact to me, but the dealer said they was signs of impact so it would not be repaired under warranty.

- Marion, MA, USA

Driving on the interstate (64) and got a small chip (about the size of my pinky nail) from a rock/ pebble in lower left area of windshield. Parked the car at home. Chip was stable. The next morning the chip now has a crack across the windshield horizontally about two thirds of the way. The dealership (casey Subaru) has replaced the windshield. It has cost me $730 out of pocket which is to be refunded to me from both my insurance company ($230) and the dealership ($500). I purchased an extended warranty from casey. I was told that chips no more than one half inch are covered. But not cracks. Thank you, scott.

My wife and I were sitting in our car at a red light stationary and the windshield cracked from the base up about 10 in long for no apparent reason. There was no damage prior to the event.

- Cheney, WA, USA

This is the second cracked windshield I have had to replace with this car in a little over a year of ownership and 18K miles. It started as a tiny rock chip below the windshield wiper and turned into a 12+ inch crack within a day. I don't remember when the tiny rock hit my windshield, but the fact that I am now on my 3rd. Windshield should point to some sort of issue with the manufacturer. The windshield replacement and reprograming of the safety components totals $1,400 and can only be done by the dealer.
