Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“2 windshield replacements since may 2013 due to chips/cracks. 21k miles per year average driving in normal conditions. The latest incident was a large crack that appeared on 6/13/17. There was no crack when the car was parked in my driveway at 6/12. When I left work the morning of 6/13/17 there was a 6 inch crack in the windshield. The temp had a roughly 25 degree f swing from hot to cold with rain overnight. There are complaints all over the internet about the Crosstrek windshield being more fragile in this regard that other cars. Incident rate of damage seems much higher than it should be.”
