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.

OUR WINDSHIELD HAS CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR OUT FOR LUNCH - NO DAMAGE. THEN HE WENT BACK OUT LATER THAT AFTERNOON AND THERE WAS A LARGE CRACK. EVEN IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HIT THE CAR (WHICH WOULD HAVE HAD TO BE SO MINOR THAT HE DIDN'T NOTICE), IT SHOULD NOT HAVE IMMEDIATELY CRACKED LIKE THIS. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE.

OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY, THE CRACK GREW UP TO 10 INCHES. CONTACT MADE TO DEALERSHIP ABOUT DEFECT.

MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND OFF, PARKED AT MY HOME. AS I WAS GETTING READY TO GO TO WORK THAT AFTERNOON, I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD. THIS CRACK WAS NOT THERE AFTER I FINISHED RUNNING AN ERRAND THAT MORNING. IT HAD TO HAVE HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN USE AND STATIONARY. THERE IS NO CRACK OR CHIP TO INDICATE ANY IMPACT WITH ANY EXTERNAL OBJECT. THE CRACK ORIGINATES AT THE BOTTOM CORNER WHERE THE WINDSHIELD MEETS THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. (PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTO) THIS INDICATES TO ME, A FACTORY DEFECT. TO CLARIFY, I PLACED TAPE ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD TO MARK THE END OF THE CRACK. THIS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED AS A CHIP OR MARK OF IMPACT.

WITH 7,000 MILES ON IT, ONLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I'VE HEARD THIS IS VERY COMMON AND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST SUBARU FOR IT. THE PATTERN IN WHICH MINE CRACKED IS SIMILAR TO WHAT OTHERS HAVE POSTED IN IMPREZA OWNERS FORUMS WHICH TELLS ME IT'S LIKELY A DEFECT AND NOT A TYPICAL CRACK.

MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED IT ABOUT 2500 MILES. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A STONE CHIP HOWEVER I DIDN'T SEE ONE. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND IT CRACKED IN THE MIDDLE HORIZONTALLY JUST BELOW THE REARVIEW MIRROR. THE TWO CRACKS WERE NOT CONNECTED INITIALLY. HOWEVER I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THEY DID CONNECT. THE CRACK GOES ALMOST ALL THE WAY ACROSS FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER OF MY WINDSHIELD AT THIS POINT. *TR
