Spontaneous windshield large crack while parked at worksite parking place on 06/07/2021. My safety was put at risk because I had to drive back home not knowing if the windshield would explode. I called the dealer (Herb Gordon Subaru in Silver Spring Maryland)right away (around 5:30 pm) and they gave me an appointment for repair with an $800 estimate. They did not inform me of Subaru issued with windshields. This is a recently purchased pre-owned Certified vehicle on 3/22/2020. Called the insurance company and advised me to go in person talk to the dealership which I will today 6/8/2021. No warnings nor I noticed any thing hitting the windshield.

VEHICLE IS LESS THAN ONE YEAR OLD WITH NO DAMAGE BUT A LARGE CRACK HAS BEGUN SPREADING DOWN THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE TOP EDGE IN THE LAST WEEK. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF A ROCK STRIKE OR OTHER DAMAGE TO CAUSE THIS. IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE WINDSHIELD ITSELF.

TODAY, 12/14/2020 AT 430AM I STARTED MY CAR LIKE NORMAL. CURRENTLY TEMPS BELOW 30 OVER NIGHT. VEHICLE HAS A REMOTE START SYSTEM. LET THE VEHICLE WARM UP, WENT OUTSIDE AND GOT IN THE VEHICLE. NOTICED A 12 INCH CRACK ON THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE, GOING TOWARDS THE MIDDLE. WASN'T THERE THE DAY BEFORE WHEN I PARKED IT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN EARLY SEPTEMBER, ONLY 4 MONTHS OLD. I'VE CHECKED ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, AND EVEN A LAWSUIT BEING FILED AGAINST SUBARU. CONTACTED MY SUBARU DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THEY TOLD ME IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTY, BUT WILL CONTACT SUBARU. WITH HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT AND SAFETY ISSUE. SEEMS AS THOUGH A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE ON THIS. ESPECIALLY SINCE THE EYESIGHT SAFETY SYSTEM HAS TO BE RECALIBRATED IF THE WINDSHIELD HAS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT SERVICE ALONE IS $1000. OTHERS IN FORUMS/ONLINE HAVE STATED THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH MULTIPLE WINDSHIELDS. SAME ISSUE, WHERE THEY'LL WAKE UP THE NEXT DAY TO A CRACK ACROSS IT.
