2019 SUBARU LEGACY Visibility/wiper Problems

We had to replace the car’s original windshield due to a stone hitting it on the highway- just bad luck and something that happens from time to time. Since then, we’ve had TWO replacement windshields spontaneously crack without any impacts in the span of 3 weeks. Subaru has a major problem. These windshields are not supposed to be disposable, and no one has time or money enough to replace windshields on a weekly basis. There is clearly a defect in the windshields, their mounting, or something that needs to be corrected. This represents a major safety issue for drivers.

On 3/1/24, I had my original windshield replaced with Subaru dealership due to a crack. I paid out of pocket. On 4/21/24, the windshield cracked again for no reason. I don't recall anything hitting it. I took it to the Subaru dealership on 4/22/24, and they took no responsibility even though it was still under warranty. They claimed it was due to something hitting the windshield, but they did replace it for free because we were "loyal customers". On 4/30/24, it developed a substantial crack again. I remember some small pebble hitting the windshield but not hard enough to cause it to crack. I was DONE with Subaru so I took it to Safelite to get it replaced on 5/10/24. Again paying out of pocket. This is my third windshield replacement in less than two months. I feel that the Subaru brand windshield is defective. It cracks easily for no reason. I've never had this happen so frequently with any of my other cars I've owned.

UNKNOWN. A very small pebble flew up from the road onto the lower passenger's side windshield, creating a small chip, approximately 2 mm, in the glass. Within 10 minutes, the glass started to hairline crack leftward by about 4 inches. I parked the car and checked a few hours later, and the crack was deeper and over a foot in length. It continued to grow with the car was parked, and was about 18 inches when I left work several hours later. I marked the end point of the crack on the inside glass when I arrived home to see if the crack would stabilize in size. The car was parked overnight and the crack has continued to grow in length and appears deeper this morning. What should have been a small chip, that would have been easy to repair, has become a major crack in the glass, one that continues to grow and is obscuring visibility as a result. My cost estimate to replace the windshield is over $1,000. It's my opinion the glass is as weak in my model car as in other Subarus that have this known glass issue where the repairs were covered under warranty.

The windshield of my vehicle randomly cracked from the driver’s side at the base of the windshield to about halfway across. Nothing hit the windshield whatsoever. I just heard a low sounding pop and discovered the crack.

ON 17JUL2022 A LONG CRACK APPEARED IN THE WINDSHIELD(FRONT). THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS AS THE WINDSHIELD CAN BREAK AND IMPACT MY SAFETY IN THE CAR AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF OTHERS AROUND THE CAR.

Winshield cracked with unknown reason

UNKNOWN Spontaneous, crack located near perfect center of lower windshield.

Windshield cracks very easily with no outside force inflicting damage. Windshield has cracked 2 times in 2 years.

Windshield developed small crack & expanded to windshield wide in a few hours. Cracked windshield & crack expansion is unsafe. Not reproduced or confirmed. Not inspected. No warning lamps.

3 TIMES i HAVE CHANGED OUT THE WINDSHIELD With Not ever having anything hit it.

The windshield has chipped and cracked excessively with no cause. I have a low mileage vehicle that has now experienced 4 separate incidents where the windshield chipped and/or cracked with very little impact. On one occasion, the car was stopped completely but suddenly the windshield popped and cracked directly in front of the driver. I am afraid to drive the car for fear that the windshield is a danger to me and my passengers.

While driving on the Highway a small stone struck the windshield of my 2019 Subaru Legacy resulting in an immediate 18 inch crack with separation of the external glass. This is the 3rd windshield that has failed on my Subaru. One previous failure resulted in glass cracked on both the outside and inside of the windshield in separate intercepting paths. I know that windshield failure has been common amongst Subarus since 2016 and I am wondering how this can still be unresolved. The failures are so immediately dramatic in length there is no repair possible and the safety integrity of the glass is compromised.

I OWN A 2019 SUBARU LEGACY. I AM VERY SHOCKED THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THREE MAJOR WINDSHIELD CRACKS WITHIN ONLY 18 MONTHS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST ONE WAS ONLY 5 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR (02/07/20), THE 2ND TIME WAS 7 MONTHS LATER (9/17/20), AND THE 3RD TIME WAS ON MAY 1ST, 2021. THE CRACKS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE; ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON A LIGHT TRAFFIC STREET, ONCE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, AND ONCE WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED. REPLACING THE WINDSHIELD FOR THE SUBARU IS VERY EXPENSIVE! THE COMPANY REFUSES TO COVER THE COST. I HAD TO PAY $500 DEDUCTIBLE, WHILE MY INSURANCE PAID OVER $300+. I HAVE DRIVEN DIFFERENT TYPES OF CARS FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS, SUCH AS HONDAS, CHEVYS, VOLVOS, AND FORDS, AND NOT ONE OF THOSE VEHICLES EVER HAD A WINDSHIELD CRACK. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER OWNED A SUBARU AND CANNOT BELIEVE THE NIGHTMARE/EXPENSE IN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM WITHIN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I AM CONVINCED THERE IS A DEFECT EITHER WITHIN THE AREA OF THE FRAME OF THE CAR THAT HOLDS THE WINDSHIELD OR THE GLASS IS VERY POOR QUALITY, OR BOTH. IT IS NOT FAIR THAT SUBARU IS MISLEADING CUSTOMERS INTO BELIEVING THAT THEIR VEHICLES ARE SOME OF THE SAFEST IN THE CAR INDUSTRY. I HOPE ENOUGH SUBARU OWNERS WHO ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ARE COMING FORWARD. ABOVE ALL, I HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE TO RESOLVE THIS TERRIBLE PROBLEM SOON.

WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHILE DRIVING - UNSURE IF ANYTHING STRUCK THE WINDOW OR NOT, BUT IT STARTED OFF AS A 6 INCH CRACK AND IN UNDER 24 HOURS HAS SPREAD TO OVER 2 FEET IN LENGTH. I HAVE READ WHERE MY YEAR/MAKE/MODEL IS CURRENTLY IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT DUE TO FAULTY WINDSHIELDS AND I WOULD LIKE IT NOTED THAT I HAVE ALSO BEEN IMPACTED BY THE FAULTY OEM WINDSHIELDS THAT SUBARU IS USING.

I HAVE A 2019 SUBARU LEGACY PURCHASED IN SUMMER 2019. IT IS CURRENTLY 2021, AND I AM DEALING WITH MY 3RD CRACKED WINDSHIELD. I HAVE BEEN OVERLY CAUTIOUS ABOUT STAYING FAR FROM TRUCKS, DIRTY VEHICLES, LARGE VEHICLES AND JUST GENERALLY KEEPING DISTANCE AFTER THE FIRST TIME THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED. DESPITE ALL MY EFFORTS, I STILL ENDED UP WITH A CRACKED WINDSHIELD YET AGAIN. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND I CANNOT CONTINUE TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON REGULAR WINDSHIELD ISSUES. THIS IS WHILE I AM PROACTIVELY TRYING TO AVOID THIS ISSUE. 1ST WINDSHIELD CRACK WAS JULY 2019 - A ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD 2ND WINDSHIELD CRACK WAS SEPTEMBER 2019 - JUST NOTICED A CRACK ONE MORNING, NOTHING ACTUALLY HIT MY WINDSHIELD TO MY KNOWLEDGE. 3RD WINDSHIELD CRACK WAS FEBRUARY 2021 - AGAIN, NOTICED A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD IN THE AFTERNOON, NO NOTICEABLE IMPACT OCCURRED.

Mileage: 500

THE WINDSHIELD GOT HIT BY A VERY TINY OBJECT (LIKELY A ROCK) AND HAD A CIRCULAR CRACK/CHIP AT THE LEFT LOWER QUADRANT ON 1/5/2021 WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY. I TOOK THE CAR FOR WINDSHIELD REPAIR ON 1/9/2021. NOW THE DAMAGED AREA IS BIGGER WITH MORE FINE CRACKS. THE WINDSHIELD DID NOT GET HIT AGAIN AFTER 1/5/2021. THE REPAIR DID NOT CONTAIN THE DAMAGE.

Mileage: 16,270

I NOTICED TODAY THAT MY WINDSHIELD HAS A CRACK THAT STARTS FROM WHAT APPEARS TO BE FROM THE BOTTOM TOWARDS THE ENGINE AND SHAPED LIKE THE NUMBER SEVEN. I DO NOT SEE ANYWHERE ALONG THE CRACK WHERE A CHIP APPEARS, WHICH LEADS ME TO THINK IT IS SOME SORT OF PRESSURE BREAK. AFTER READING THE RECENT ISSUES SUBARU HAS HAD WITH FAULTY WINDSHIELDS I FEEL THIS IS AN EXACT EXAMPLE OF THAT.

MY SUBARU LEGACY WINDSHIELD WAS DAMAGED RESULTING IN A CRACK 8/9/20 ON THE ROAD. THIS WAS REPAIRED. ANOTHER SMALL OBJECT HIT THE WINDSHIELD SHORTLY AFTER ON 10/11/20 THAT WAS TO BIG TO REPAIR AND NEEDED A WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT. AFTER THAT ON 11/18/20 ANOTHER PEBBLE CRACKED THE REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD WHILE ON THE ROAD. AMONG ALL THE CARS I'VE HAD, THIS CAR HAS THE MOST FRAGILE WINDSHIELD.

THE WINDSHIELD ON THIS VEHICLE CRACKS EASILY AND WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TWO WINDSHIELDS IN THE LAST YEAR DUE TO POOR GLASS QUALITY.

Mileage: 34,000

THE WINDSHIELD HAD A CRACK ON THE LEFT BOTTOM CORNER OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE BUT NO EXPLAINED REASON. THERE WAS NO AUDIBLE SOUND THAT LED TO THE CRACK. I HAD TO PAY $500 TO GET THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED AND THE EYESIGHT CALIBRATED. NOTICED THE CRACKED WINDSHIELD WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT HOME.

A SMALL CRACK (ROUGHLY 2 INCHES IN LENGTH) APPEARED ON MY WINDSHIELD ON THE BOTTOM PASSENGER SIDE, WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK. I NOTICED IT WHILE PARKED AT A RED LIGHT, BUT IT WAS NOT THERE WHEN I HAD STARTED DRIVING. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING ON MY WINDSHIELD BECAUSE I HADN'T BEEN HIT BY ANYTHING, IT JUST APPEARED. THE CRACK SPREAD CONSIDERABLY FURTHER BEFORE I ARRIVED AT WORK AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT THE NEXT DAY.

Mileage: 12,000

WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO REASON.

Mileage: 22,000

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS I WAS STARTLED BY A LOUD POP KIND OF NOISE COMING FROM THE WINDSHIELD AREA WHILE DRIVING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WAS AROUND TO CAUSE THIS EITHER TIME AND NOTHING WHATSOEVER HAS HIT THE WINDSHIELD SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS CAR. I AM THE SOLE DRIVER. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD GOING 50MPH ON MY WAY TO WORK (A 10 MINUTE COMMUTE). THE MORNING AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE, I GOT INTO MY CAR TO FIND A CRACK ON THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD ABOUT 2/3S OF THE WAY DOWN AND STARTING FROM THE OUTER EDGE. THERE HAD BEEN NO CRACK OR ANY HINT THAT SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I LEFT MY CAR THE DAY BEFORE. HOW DOES A CRACK JUST APPEAR OVERNIGHT WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO CAUSE IT? I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE HAD THIS HAPPEN. THE CAR WAS ABSOLUTELY STATIONARY, NO NEARBY TREES OR ANYTHING THAT COULD CAUSE ANY IMPACT. DUE TO COVID, THE CRACK SAT FOR QUITE SOME TIME, WHEN I FINALLY GOT TO MAKE IT TO THE SUBURU DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR, THEY DENIED MY CLAIM. THE TECHS SAID THEY COULD FIND NO CHIP OR ORIGINATION FOR THE CRACK... (BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ONE) THE TECHS AGREED IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY BUT SUBURU STILL DENIED MY CLAIM. I'M NOW OUT $1103.00

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS VEHICLE WAS PARKED UNDER A TREE, AN ACORN HAD FALLEN FROM THE TREE AND CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE CRACK SPREAD FROM THE DRIVER SIDE SPREAD AND BEGAN TO ZIG ZAG THREE INCHES DOWN THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT HE DISCOVERED A CRACK ON HIS FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW THAT ALSO ZIG ZAGS FROM THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER DOWN TO THE MIDDLE BOTTOM PORTION WINDOW. THE CONTACT CALLED AUSTIN SUBARU(8100 BURNET RD, AUSTIN, TX 78757) WHERE HE WAS INFORMED TO BRING IN THE VEHCILE TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER HAD YET TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THERE IS AN 18 INCH CRACK IN OUR WINDSHIELD. WE HEARD A SOFT 'POP' NOISE WHEN WE WERE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A LEVEL ASPHALT ROAD AT A LOW SPEED. NO ROCKS OR OTHER OBJECTS HIT THE GLASS. WE LOOKED AROUND TO SEE WHAT IT WAS AND WE NOTICED THE CRACK. IT IS ABOUT 18 INCHES LONG AND STARTS AT THE EDGE OF THE GLASS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

WINDSHEILD CRACKED AND HAS TO BE REPLACED

Mileage: 2,500

WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN A TINY ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD ABOUT 3 INCHES FROM PASSENGER SIDE OF GLASS. IT WAS ABOUT HALFWAY UP THE WINDSHIELD. THE ROCK HIT WAS BARLEY AUDIBLE, ALMOST DIDN'T NOTICE IT. WHEN I GOT TO WORK I INSPECTED IT AND FOUND THE SLIGHTEST SCRATCH, NO CHIP, NOT ANY SIGNS OF A CRACK. SO I DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT. WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR AT LUNCH NOTICED A CRACK FROM SIDE TO SIDE OF WINDSHIELD. I CAN TAKE MY FINGERNAIL AND FEEL THE CRACK ON BOTH SIDES. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO ON ROAD TRIPS, STOP AND GET YOUR GLASS REPLACED EVERY TIME YOU GET A CHIP. I DO NOT FEEL THIS CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN THE WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED FROM SIDE TO SIDE. NOT TO MENTION YOU CAN GET A TICKET OR TOLD TO PARK THE CAR WHEN IT IS IN THE DRIVERS VIEW! *TR

THE WINDSHIELD OF THE CAR CRACKED OVERNIGHT, WHILE IN STATIONARY, PARKED ON THE CITY STREET IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. I PARKED MY CAR IN FRONT MY HOUSE ON SUNDAY, AUG 11, 2019, AND WHEN I WENT OUT IN THE MORNING OF AUG 12, 2019, THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED. AT THAT POINT, I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 10.5 MONTHS WITH A MILEAGE OF ABOUT 5500 MILES. THE CRACK STARTED FROM THE LOWER PART OF THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND EXTENDED TO THE MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD, ALMOST TO THE DIVER'S SIDE. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT'S NOT COVERED BY THE COMPANY. I HAD TO GET IT FIXED AT MY OWN EXPENSE.

Mileage: 5,500

I'LL BE REPLACING MY WINDSHIELD FOR THE SECOND TIME WITHIN A YEAR TOMORROW AND HAVING IT REPAIRED OVERALL FOR THE THIRD TIME WITHIN A YEAR. THE FIRST REPLACEMENT WAS DUE TO A SMALL PEBBLE KICKING UP FROM THE HIGHWAY CAUSING A SMALL STAR CRACK IN MY LINE OF SIGHT FORCING A REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THE PATCH STILL CAUSED LINE OF SIGHT ISSUES. LESS THAN A MONTH LATER ANOTHER SMALL PEBBLE CAUSED A SECOND CRACK. THIS TIME A PATCH WAS FINE AND LUCKILY WAS FREE. THIS MORNING I CAME OUT TO MY CAR, WHICH HAD BEEN PARKED ALL WEEKEND, AND WHEN I GOT IN SAW THAT THERE IS A LONG J SHAPED CRACK STARTING FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE EYESIGHT CAMERA GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN AND AROUND THE DOT MATRIX PATTERN THAT COMES DOWN THE WINDSHIELD NEAR THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. THESE WINDSHIELDS ARE TERRIBLE AND I'VE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH A WINDSHIELD BEFORE OWNING A SUBARU. IT'S UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE THE REST OF THE CAR IS GREAT. IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUY A SUBARU PROBABLY PREPARE FOR AN ANNUAL WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT AND GET READY FOR THAT DEDUCTIBLE.

WHILE COMMUTING FROM PUEBLO COLORADO TO COLORADO SPRINGS ONE MORNING MY WINDSHIELD SLOWLY STARTED TO CRACK. I DROVE HOME TO PUEBLO ABOUT 12 HOURS LATER AND BY THEN THE SMALL CRACK SPREAD ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. I ASSUMED THE COLD AIR IS WHY IT CRACKED.

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.

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.

Mileage: 1,500

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.

Mileage: 600

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 $700.00 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.
