“Windshield crack that started from the bottom edge of windshield. I literally woke up to a crack that developed overnight after a regular cold night in reno nv. The crack continued growing since then. I have never own a vehicle that has cracked its windshield just because it is a cold night. Vehicle was parked overnight when crack developed.”
NHTSA complaint #11406227, filed 2021-04, 16,202 miles“The car was purchased certified pre owned with less than 20000 miles. After I got my first car wash noticed thousands of pit in the window. They had it super covered with a compound the wash took off. Now for no reason a huge crake went through the windshield! Warranty of course won't cover it. Wham!!! $$1000 repair! I have had car less then three months.”
NHTSA complaint #11352570, filed 2020-09, 20,000 miles“I purchased a 2019 Subaru Outback in december 2018 and have had to replace the windshield three times in just over two years (june 2019, november 2020, april 2021). I owned a 2006 Subaru Outback for over 10 years and never had to replace the windshield. This is a safety risk and a design flaw and it needs to be corrected.”
NHTSA complaint #11413356, filed 2021-04, 10,000 miles“The certified Subaru windshields are too thin. They break with little to no impact. I've had to replace two so far with only 3400 miles on the odometer. Have I mentioned how expensive these windshields are to replace, upwards of $1600. I know Subaru had a previous glass recall, but someone needs to look, into the 2019 windshields.”
NHTSA complaint #11233572, filed 2019-07, 3,400 miles“The windshield is cracked. I went out to my car on may 16 and on the front windshield there was a y shaped crack going up from the bottom middle of the windshield. When I went back outside on may 18, the crack had spread about 4 inches toward each side of the windshield. On may 21, the crack had spread more and is curving around. The car was parked in my driveway when all of this happened.”
