2017 Subaru Crosstrek Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“Was driving on city street with fairly high traffic. Very heavy rain and humidity. I turned on defogger and the windshield got increasingly more fogged up. The defogger did not clear the windshield. I had to drive at 20 mpg to avoid a collision. I brought the car to the dealership and was told nothing was wrong with the defogger. The car is two weeks old.”

“My windshield had several cracks, that should not have been able to be produced so easily. Within a couple of weeks of owning my 2017 Crosstrek, a pebble hit my windshield at a rather low force and cracked the windshield. Then the crack traveled all the way down. Then another crack mysteriously appeared in a different spot. I have never experienced a windshield so weak. I had to have it replaced.”

“The windshield on my 2017 Crosstrek chips too easy. I have never had chips on any other vehicles windshield. The glass must be too soft. This has happened to my Crosstrek a few times while in motion. My transmission feels like it sometimes slips, and shudders while the vehicle is in motion.”

“I drove approximately 100 minutes to central illinois on a 80 degree and sunny afternoon. I parked my car on the street and when I returned to it 45 minutes later, there was a 12inch crack on my passenger side windshield. There was no apparent point of contact in the crack and there were no large sticks or branches on the car. It appeared as if the crack happened on its own. I got the crack repaired recently and it cost over $1,000 to fix.”

“My windshield cracked for no apparent reason. Crack originated under the windshield wiper blades and spread when I turned the heat on to the middle of the windshield. The vehicle was parked when I first noticed the crack, at which point it was already approximately 7 inches long. I took it to the dealer and asked that it be covered under the warranty since there was no damage to the windshield, and they took detailed pictures (charlie's Subaru in august, me).”
