2022 Subaru Outback

Windshield cracked when vehicle was traveling at a slow rate of speed, in the rain while on an on/off ramp. It has already been repaired. Crack went across the windshield right in my line of vision. The dealer examined the car and stated that at some point, the windshield was hit and that it just eventually cracked. There was no warning prior, I had not noticed any nicks prior to the crack.

While parked and without impact from any object, the windshield cracked causing visibility issues for the driver leading to unsafe driving conditions for those inside and outside the vehicle. The problem is a common issue among many Subaru vehicles. The issue has been reported but not yet inspected. There were no warnings before the issue appeared.

A crack developed in the windshield on the passenger's side spontaneously. We got in the car in the morning and noticed it. There are not any chips/indents where a stone/rock may have started the damage, but starts at the edge of the windshield. It started about 8 inches and now it is about 20 inches in less than 24 hours. We called our insurance company to ask about repairing it. Our deductible is $1000 so we will need to pay most all of it out of pocket. They let us know that unfortunately they've been seeing similar issues with other policyholder's subaru windshields the past 5 years or so and for us to contact the Subaru corporate office. We will be having it replaced by Safelite.

I parked at a store, i came out an hour later and there was about a foot long crack in my windshield. I asked to look at the security footage of the store and there was no contact from anything or anyone with the windshield. There is not point of impact, the windshield simply cracked on its own on the passenger side. There was absolutely no sign of any damage before this and i had recently had inspection at the dealership and there was no mention of any issues with the windshield. I reached out to the salesman who sold me this car from the Subaru dealership about 3 months ago and he said they could not help. I reached out to Subaru Customer Advocacy and they are contacting dealership, I have not heard back.

I parked the vehicle at a local restaurant in the sun. The windshield cracked from midpoint passenger side to middle and f windshield. No impact from rock or other item and I had the car in sight at all times while in the restaurant. This is a defective part. When I bought the car I paid extra to have a special coating put on at the dealership due to a known thin glass problem on Subarus.

Windshield spontaneously cracked while parked overnight in garage. Crack originated on passenger side in the middle of windshield starting at the end of the panel and running to middle of windshield horizontally. No chip, damage, impact happened. It literally cracked on its own overnight. Husband is a window engineer and said either the glass is not sustainable for the span of the windshield or the seal is faulty and it dislodged/shifted the glass causing a pressure crack. Subaru has no recalls but this is a common problem according to this website and hopefully someone can address this because it’s a safety issue and happens without impact or damage.
