THE CAR PARKED WAS FOUND WITH A DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD (HORIZONTAL CRACK WITHOUT APPARENT REASON). THE DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD SEEMED TO OCCUR SPONTANEOUSLY BECAUSE MY REQUESTED POLICE INVESTIGATION DID NOT FIND ANY EVIDENCE ON THE CAUSE OF HARM.

THIS CAR WAS LEASED ON JUNE 3, 2009. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY I NOTICED THAT AT SLOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT OR AT AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR BOGS DOWN AND SHAKES AND BUCKS. SOMETHING LIKE AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER TRYING TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT AND NOT KNOWING HOW TO SHIFT SMOOTHLY. THE BUCKING IS VERY NOTICEABLE TO EVERYONE IN THE CAR. EVEN PASSENGERS ASK WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THIS ISSUE IS CONSTANT AND DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ANOTHER DRIVER.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS. TWICE IT HAS STOPPED THE CAR FOR NO REASON. I WAS NOT CLOSE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND I WAS NOT SPEEDING. THE SYSTEM APPLIED THE BRAKES WHICH CAUSE BOTH MY PASSENGER AND ME TO BE FORCED FORWARD AGAINST THE SEAT BELTS.THE CAR ACTUALLY SKIDDED. WHAT IS WORSE IS THAT THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD NO WARNING THAT I WAS GOING TO BE STOPPED AND ALMOST COULD NOT AVOID A REAR END COLLISION. THIS SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE SHUT IT OFF BUT IT ALWAYS COMES BACK ON WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING A 5 WEEK OLD VEHICLE DOWN A STATE HIGHWAY, TWO LANE, 55MPH ROAD, THERE WAS A SMALL "TICK" SOUND THAT WAS VERY INSIGNIFICANT. THE PASSENGER POINTED OUT THAT THERE WAS NOW A CHIP AND CRACKS IN THE WINDSHIELD. THE SMALL SOUND, OR OBJECT THAT HIT THE WINDSHIELD WAS LESS SIGNIFICANT THAN SOME BUGS THAT HIT ON A DAILY BASIS. YET IT CHIPPED AND CRACKED THE 5 WEEK OLD CROSSTREK WINDSHIELD. THERE'S NO WAY THIS MINOR THING THAT TOUCHED THE WINDSHIELD SHOULD HAVE LEFT A MARK LET ALONE A CHIP AND CRACKS. LATER IN THE SAME WEEK, OUR OUTBACK THAT WAS PURCHASED THE SAME DAY BRAND NEW HAD THE SAME ISSUE, AND IT LEFT A CHIP AND CRACK.. FROM A VERY INSIGNIFICANT LITTLE SOMETHING THAT BARELY HIT THE WINDSHIELD.

MY CROSSTREK HAS HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED TWICE SO FAR IN 2019, BOTH DUE TO CRACKS THAT OCCURRED DURING NORMAL DRIVING OPERATION. EACH TIME, THE WINDSHIELD HAD BEEN CRACK FREE BEFORE THE CRACK OCCURRED. BOTH TIMES, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, ALTHOUGH AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS (65 MPH AND 30 MPH).

I PURCHASED THE CAR ON 12/26/2018. I HAVE TWO CHIPS IN THE WINDSHIELD, THE FIRST COMING LESS THAN THREE MONTHS (LESS THAN 6,000 MILES) AFTER PURCHASE AND THE LAST ONE ON 10/9/2019. BOTH OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST, ON A 2 LANE STATE HIGHWAY (NJ-RT 70 W) TRAVELING ABOUT 55 MPH. THE SECOND WAS ON RT 22 NEAR LANCASTER, PA GOING ABOUT 35 MPH. THE FIRST ONE HAS BEEN REPAIRED. THE SECOND CHIP WILL BE REPAIRED THIS WEEK. BOTH TIMES I HEARD AN OBJECT (PROBABLY DEBRIS/STONE/ETC) STRIKE THE WINDSHIELD AND WITHIN A FEW MILES, NOTICED CHIPS IN THE WINDSHIELD THAT NEEDED PROFESSIONAL REPAIR. I'VE OWNED AT LEAST 7 CARS, AND HAVE NEVER HAD EXPERIENCES WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WOULD CHIP AS FREQUENTLY AS THIS CAR.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
AT AROUND THE 2000 MILE MARK I NOTICED A DRASTIC REDUCTION IN FUEL ECONEMY. I ALSO STARTED NOTICING METAL PARTICLES IN THE ENGINE OIL. I ALSO NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN ENGINE POWER AS WELL. THIS IS A SIGN OF DEBRIS GETTING IN THE ENGINE AND CAUSING METAL PARTICLES TO BECOME BROKEN OFF. MY MILEAGE WENT FROM 460-480 MPT TO 360-380 MPT. (MPT=MILES PER TANK) I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOTHING WAS FOUND FROM THRM TESTING THE FUEL SYSTEM. I HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTING THIS THRU PHOTOGRAPS ON MY TRIPOMETER. I TOOK DEALERSHIPS ADVICE AND TRIED A DIFFERENT GAS STATION WITH THE SAME RESULTS. FUEL ECONEMY IS AVERAGING 22-33 MPG CITY/HIGHWAY. I DRIVE 20 OF 25 MILES EACH WAY TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DISPLAY THAT READS GAS MILEAGE BASED ON HOW I DRIVE IN THE CAR SAYS I SHOULD BE GETTING BETWEEN 27-28 MPG BASED ON HOW I DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH ON THE 55 FREEWAY SOUTH, MY WINDSHIELD 'POPPED' AND DEVELOPED A CHIP, WHICH LOOKS AS THOUGH IT WAS HIT BY A ROCK, BUT IT WAS NOT. THE WINDSHIELD HAS ALSO DEVELOPED MYRIAD IMPERFECTIONS, WHICH APPEAR AS WATER SPOTS, BUT ARE NOT REMOVABLE. AT CERTAIN POINTS IN THE DAY, DEPENDING ON LIGHT, IT GETS DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD, EVEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER CLEANING IT.
