2015 Subaru Forester Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“I was driving home from work at 7am, and I had stopped at a red light. All of a sudden, I hear the sound of glass crack and out of the corner of my eye, I see a huge crack in my windshield. It just continued to spread the rest of the drive home. Had to get it replaced, oem quoted me over $800 and even more if I had the eyesight option.”

“My vehicle eats windshields. They seem to crack with the lightest tap from road debris or, in one instance, for absolutely no reason at all (while driving out of an underground parking garage). I have replaced 2 windshields in the past 4 months, and Subaru keeps saying it is due to impacts (even when no impact occurred). It seems that this is a common occurrence, despite Subaru denying it.”

“My wife was driving to work, about 35mph on a paved road. Several electrical items suddenly failed, all at the same time - wipers, windshield washer, heater fan, turn signals all would not work. When she stopped the car, turned off the ignition, and turned it back on, the electrical system worked again. I am taking it in for warranty service at ganley Subaru, wickliffe, ohio.”

“On the highway during a road trip, a tiny rock hit my windshield and cracked part of it. Over the course of the next 24 hours the crack grew in two directions rapidly. This forced me to have to get a complete windshield replacement only 1 month after purchasing the brand new vehicle. Looking online, this sounds like a very widespread issue with Subaru windshields that are easily cracked.”

“Vehicle may accelerate on its own. Stopped at stop sign and vehicle accelerated hard after removing foot from brake. Had to reapply brakes hard to stop car and maintain control. Luckily there was no traffic. As I ended up a lane further than were I intended. .”
