This Problem Across All Years
6-8in windshield crack on passenger side, near the bottom just above defrost vents. No apparent trauma to the windshield in that area. No indication that there was a crack forming otherwise; appeared seemingly overnight. Have not yet reported to insurance, dealer, or mfg. I have seen that there was a class action settled recently regarding some Subaru windshields cracking without warning so this may be a known issue. Car is available for inspection upon request.

The windshield has formed a crack in the top middle around the area of the rear view mirror with no incident to cause it. The problem is easily identifiable and may cause safety issues if the crack spreads. At this time insurance representatives and the manufacturer have not inspected the windshield. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior. It just cracked out of nowhere.

I noticed my windshield spontaneously cracked, without any trauma. This was noticed in the morning after my car had been sitting in the garage overnight. There were no rocks or other debris that hit the car, and there does not appear to be a point of impact. The crack seems to have occurred spontaneously, with no precipitating event or warning. This is dangerous because it could impair visibility, the functioning of eye sight camera/safety system, and could easily expand and cause shattering of glass. It makes me concerned about the integrity of the windshield. Several other subaru owners have reported this problem of spontaneous windshield cracking online. This occurred on my car on 4/3/2023. I have photo evidence of the faulty windshield, it has not yet been inspected by a dealer.

The windshield has cracked twice and had to be replaced. The first time was December 2021 and the second time was November 2022. Each time, we did not even see impact with a pebble. We just assume that was what caused the crack. My wife and I have been driving for fifty years and this is the first time we have had to replace a windshield. Subaru needs to fix this problem.

My car was parked outside when one morning I noticed a 2-inch crack started from the edge of the windshield on the passenger side of my vehicle which grew to 19 inches in the following days. The crack feels smooth from the outside and to my knowledge didn't happen due to any impact. My vehicle is available for any inspection. I have not taken my car to the manufacturer regarding this issue yet.

My 2020 Subaru crosstrek has repeatedly had its windshield crack for little to no reason. I have noticed my windshield crack in a similar spot (near the vin number area) multiple times with no incidents where a rock or other debris struck the windshield. This provides a visual distraction and safety issue while driving.

AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING AROUND 7AM WITH ONLY 2 OTHER CARS IN OTHER LANES NOT NEAR ME, I HEARD A SUDDEN CRACK. I LOOKED OVER TO THE RIGHT LOWER SIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD AND SAW A DENT AND A CRACK ABOUT 2-3 INCHES. I DON'T THINK IT'S A ROCK BUT THAT WOULDN'T HAVE CAUSED SUCH A LOUD AND BIG CRACK ALL OF A SUDDEN. I HAVE OTHER CARS(NOT SUBARUS) AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN A CRACK FORM LIKE THAT BEFORE. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NEWER SUBARUS, THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AND I'M ACTUALLY SCARED TO DRIVE MY SUBARU! THIS SCARE IS A SAFE CAR BUT WITH A WINDSHIELD LIKE THAT, ITS WORRYING ME.

I'VE ONLY HAD MY BRAND NEW 2020 SUBARU CROSSTREK FOR 4 1/2 MONTHS AND I JUST GOT A 2ND CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD. LAST MONTH A SMALL PEBBLE FLEW OFF OF A CONSTRUCTION TRUCK, HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND CRACKED IT, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. TWO DAYS AGO, I HEARD A LIGHT TAP WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ON A CITY STREET AND NOW I HAVE ANOTHER CRACK. I WAS THE ONLY ONE ON THE ROAD AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING HIT MY WINDSHIELD. I ASSUME IT WAS A PEBBLE THAT HIT MY WINDSHIELD BUT I'M NOT SURE. I'M NOW AFRAID OF THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE I DRIVE A LONG DISTANCE TO WORK. MY FEAR IS MY ENTIRE WINDSHIELD SHATTERING IN MY FACE OR MY PASSENGER'S FACE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I WILL BE GOING TO SAFELITE AGAIN TO GET THIS 2ND CRACK REPAIRED.

I HAD MY 2020 SUBARU CROSSTREK (BRAND NEW, OFF THE TRUCK) FOR LESS THAN A MONTH WHEN A CRACK APPEARED IN THE LOWER LEFT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY HISTORY OF SOMETHING HITTING THE WINDSHIELD, IT JUST CRACKED.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER ACTIVATING MY FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS, I HEAR A CRACKING "POP" SOUND FROM MY WIND SHIELD AND A 12 INCH CRACK APPEARS, STEMMING FROM THE CENTER OF THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND EXTENDING DIAGONALLY TO THE TOP EDGE OF THE WIND SHIELD. MY CAR IS ONLY SEVEN MONTHS OLD WITH LESS THAN 8000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN STRUCK BY A PIECE OF GRAVEL OR DEBRIS. THIS HAPPENED ON A SUNNY DAY WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH DOWN A CITY STREET IN AMES, IA. SINCE THIS HAPPENED SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY CAUSE, I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS FROM A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN THE WIND SHIELD.

AFTER MY FIRST LONGER DISTANCE TRIP I NOTICED A WINDSHIELD CRACK IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WINDSHIELD STARTING AT THE BOTTOM AND EXTENDING APPROXIMATELY 5 INCHES UP. MY CAR WAS IN A GARAGE A THE TIME. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF SHOWING OFF MY "NEW CAR". LESS THAN 3000 MILES WERE ON THE ODOMETER AT THE TIME. AT NO TIME DURING MY DRIVE HAD OR HAVE I ENCOUNTERED AN OBJECT STRIKING THE WINDSHIELD, BUT DO FIND A SMALL AREA UNDER THE WIPER BLADES. I HAVE YET TO NOTIFY MY SUBARU DEALERSHIP OF THE CRACK. IT APPARENTLY WAS NOT NOTICED DURING A ROUTINE SERVICE APPOINTMENT. I DO NOT LIVE CLOSE TO A DEALERSHIP.

JUST UNDER 1600 MILES NOTICED CRACK EXTENDING FROM THE RIGHT HAND EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD APPROX 6 IN. SOME FLAKING ALONG THE LINE. TOOK TO DEALER, SALES MANAGER LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS A STONE CHIP. HIS BOSS CAME OUT AND SAID IT WAS A STONE CHIP FROM 10 FT AWAY THEN A THIRD PERSON CAME OUT OF THE SHOW ROOM AND FROM 15 FT SAID IT WAS STONE CHIP AND TO JUST TURN IT INTO MY INSURANCE COMPANY. MY WIFE DRIVES THE CAR AND SAID THAT NOTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO HAVE AN OEM REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD (WONDER HOW LONG THAT ONE WILL LAST) OR THE SUBARU EYESIGHT WOULD NOT ALIGN PROPERLY AND THEREFORE NOT WORK. I HAVEN'T GOT A COST FOR THE GLASS AND INSTALLATION YET BUT ALIGNMENT TAKES 1.5 HOURS AT $172.00 PER HOUR. AND IF THE TOTAL IS MORE THAN $750.00 IT COUNTS AS A DING ON MY INSURANCE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON SMOOTH INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC . THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION. AFTER STOPPING IN A SAFE LOCATION, I DISCOVERED THE MOON ROOF HAD SHATTERED INTO TINY PIECES. I AM POSITIVE THERE WERE NO ROCKS OR STRUCTURES ABOVE..THERE WAS 1500 MILES ON THE CAR. THE SLIDING CEILING WAS CLOSED OR THERE WOULD BE SHATTERED GLASS ALL OVER THE INTERIOR. NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT IT WAS VERY DISTRACTING AND COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL. THE MOONROOF GLASS MAY HAVE BEEN FAULTY. THE DEALER REPLACED IT AT NO COST TO ME.
