I feel like I should be creating 2 complaints but I have 4,400 miles have had it since September of 2021 it is currently November on a 22' Outback wilderness and are now looking at replacing a second windshield. Driving on normal city highways and avoiding 18 wheelers. Both times the impact from what should have been just a rock chip was minimal and it didn't even chip just immediately cracks negating any chance of a remedy with chip repair. We had a 2018 Forester and never had issues like this. Not even certain the second one was a rock chip, to be honest just suddenly was there and didn't hear or see a rock. $2,000 in windshields in 3 months. Lovely...

Purchased brand new 2022 Subaru Outback Nov 6, 2021. I-??ve been Avery careful driver with my new car! I drive 25 miles on interstate twice a day and have been cautious of being near the 18 wheeler/ semis. I prefer to pass them asap or hang back several car lengths to avoid debris that might be kicked up or fall off. On Nov 20, 2021 I was driving on the interstate and noticed a chip which began to spread into an L shaped crack totaling approximately 8-??. It had 731 miles on it. I do not recall any impact. It does appear as if something struck it which initiated the crack but it is tiny!

Windshield cracked at 4,900 miles, parked at work. My safety was fine when it happened because no one was in the car. Contacted Subaru of America and local Subaru dealer, they both sent me to one another but neither has helped to help fix this reoccurring issue with 2022 Subaru Outbacks.

My windshield cracked with out a direct impact to the windshield. I replaced the windshield with an OEM windshield, approximately one week after install the windshield cracked again. There is most likely a bad lot of windshields.
