2019 Subaru Legacy

EVER SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, ALL WARNING LIGHTS AND EYE SIGHT HAVE COME UP ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. TWICE IT'S GIVEN THE CODE THAT SOMETHING IS BLOCKING THE SHUTTERS. TRIED CLEARING SHUTTERS, BUT NO SUCCESS. TRIED REPLACING ASSEMBLY; STILL DIDN'T WORK. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, CAR WAS STATIONARY. NEXT 3 TIMES, CAR WAS IN MOTION. ALSO TRIED RE-SETTING COMPUTER SYSTEM, BUT WARNING LIGHTS AND EYE SIGHT WOULD COME ON AGAIN IN 2-3 WEEKS. MUST BE A DESIGN FLAW SOMEWHERE TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN FOUR TIMES, EVEN AFTER REPLACING ASSEMBLY! MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS ON 1 MARCH 2020. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IN A NEW VEHICLE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF THE RESIDENCE, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED WITHOUT BEING STRUCK BY A FOREIGN OBJECT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED IN THREE SEPARATE PLACES WHILE PARKED AT THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (ST J AUTO BUICK GMC 500 MEMORIAL DR, ST JOHNSBURY, VT 05819 (802) 748-1355) WHERE IT WAS INSPECTED AND REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER (WHITE RIVER TOYOTA 303 SYKES MOUNTAIN AVE, WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VT 05001 (802) 299-2800) WHO ALSO REPAIRED THE WINDSHIELD. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,663.

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.

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.
