Summary

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.

Summary

I've had this occur two times. Other vehicles pulled out in front of me, and the Eyesight technology applied the brakes very, very hard. There was sufficient room between me and the vehicles that pulled out in front of me, so the very, very hard braking wasn't necessary. I would have just taken my foot of the gas peddle, and would have been fine. The problem is when the vehicle itself applies the brakes very, very hard the car behind you almost runs you over because visually there's no reason to be applying the brakes so hard.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Summary

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.

Summary

I HAD 4,000 MILES GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2 TIRES WHEN I EXPERIENCED A SIDEWALK BLOWOUT ON THE EXPRESSWAY IN ANOTHER STATE. WE HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED WHILE TRAVELING. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID IT WAS SUSPECT SINCE THERE WASN'T A FOREIGN OBJECT OR PUNCTURE, IT WAS JUST THE SIDEWALL THAT BLEW OUT. THERE WERE NO POTHOLES AROUND. FAST FORWARD 5 MONTHS AND ANOTHER TIRE DEVELOPED A BULGE IN THE SIDEWALL. I HAPPENED TO NOTICE IT WHEN I WAS AT THE GAS STATION. LUCKILY IT DIDN'T BLOW OUT. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY TIRE EVER BLOWING OUT OR BULGING IN ALL THE MILES I DRIVE. I'M ON THE ROAD ALMOST EVERY DAY FOR MY SALES JOB. TO ME THIS SEEMS LIKE A QUALITY ISSUE. I STILL HAVE THE SECOND TIRE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AT IT. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER I TOOK IT TO COULDN'T BE BOTHERED WITH A WARRANTY ISSUE. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO MY WHEEL AT ALL AND I DIDN'T HIT A POTHOLE OR ROAD DEBRIS.

Summary

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.

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.

Summary

WHAT WE NOTICE IS A CHANGE IN RESPONSE OF THE STEERING IN SOME SITUATIONS. COMING 'OFF-CENTER' THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANGE IN STEERING FEEL AND RESPONSE ' ALMOST AS IF IT HAS A DEAD SPOT 'ON-CENTER'. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE NOTED A CHANGE IN RESPONSE AT HIGHWAY SPEED ENTERING AND EXITING CURVES. PARTICULARLY, THE STEERING HAS A NICE 'WEIGHTED' FEEL ENTERING AND MAINTAINING THROUGH THE CORNER, BUT JUST AS ONE BEGINS TO UNWIND THE STEERING AS THE ROAD STRAIGHTENS, THE STEERING CHANGES FEEL AND RESPONSE REQUIRING AN UNEXPECTED ADJUSTMENT. THE CAR SEEMS TO WANT TO TURN MORE AGGRESSIVELY INTO THE CORNER AS I BEGIN TO UNWIND THE STEERING. BOTH OF THESE RESPONSES SEEM TO BE MORE NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ONE MUST IMMEDIATELY CORRECT THE DIRECTION TRAVEL BY EITHER TURNING MORE INTO THE CURVE OR OUT OF THE CURVE. IN EITHER CASE, THE CAR RESPONDS AND THE NON-LINEARITY MOMENTARILY DISAPPERS

Summary

ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING A 2019 SUBARU LEGACY, I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN SUDDENLY, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE SPEED OF MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER MY CONTROL. I WAS IN A PANIC FOR MY SAFETY AND LIFE! AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF THIS LOSS IN SPEED CONTROL, I EITHER APPLIED MY BRAKE OR ACCELERATOR (I AM NOT SURE WHICH) AND I REGAINED CONTROL OF MY CAR'S SPEED. A FEW MINUTES LATER, I NOTICED A NUMBER OF ICONS ON MY SCREEN THAT WERE STRANGE TO ME AT THE TIME. READING THE OWNER'S MANUAL DAYS LATER, I LEARNED THAT THE ICONS REPRESENTED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS IN EFFECT. THERE ARE MANY BUTTONS CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I MUST HAVE INADVERTENTLY PRESSED THE BUTTON TO ACTIVATE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN BY ACCIDENT BECAUSE THESE CONTROLS ARE SO CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. EVEN THOUGH I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, I COULD STILL ACCIDENTALLY PRESS THE BUTTON AGAIN AND POTENTIALLY COULD CAUSE GREAT INJURY OR EVEN DEATH! I WANT THIS FAULT CORRECTED ON MY VEHICLE BEFORE I OR SOMEONE ELSE GETS HURT! *TR *JS

Summary

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.
