2 significant windshield cracks in less than one year. of owning this car. one was repairable. the second has resulted in the need for replacement, as a small chip extended to 7 inches within one week. no excessive speed or driving at close proximity at fault. first crack 3/8/19. second incident 1/27/20- less than one year apart on a brand new vehicle.
Passenger front door, corner glass splintered while driving on highway. unlikely, a rock or debris impact because of location. possible glass tempered issue?
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.
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.
Windshield cracked for no reason
I purchased a 2019 subaru crosstrek at the end of april. by the end of may, i had multiple chips in the windshield which the dealership brushed off as rock chips. i have never been hit by a rock in this vehicle and i had multiple chips and cracks. i had the chips filled in and a few weeks later a long crack appeared in the middle of my windshield on the inside only. subaru is replacing it under warranty, but with the recent lawsuit over their defective windshields, i thought it best to report the incident.
There was a very loud explosion and the glass sunroof exploded while i was driving. the explosion blew the glass outward so for a moment i thought someone had run into me. the dealer's service department showed no concern at all and just gave me a couple of business cards for glass repair companies. ther was no effort at all to tryto understand what had happened
I was driving down a road that is a 45mph road, and i dont hear a rock hit my windshield but i look down and notice i have a small crack starting at the very edge of my windshield, which then spread across my windshield rather quickly.
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.
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.
Crack appeared in new car (6000 miles) windshield as we drove along highway.
Car has repeatedly turned itself off while driving. twice, when pressing the brakes while exiting the highway, all dashboard lights (eyesight alarms, check engine, etc.) will turn on. when the car comes to a stop, the oil light also turns on and the engine shuts off, essentially putting the car in neutral. the dash instructs to put the car in park. the car starts again after pushing the ignition to turn off the car and turning it back on again, but will have the same thing happen the next time the brakes are pressed and the car slows down. it has turned off twice while the vehicle is in motion, going slowly. after three first instances of this problem, the car was towed to the dealer where they found a "fatal error of the ecm" and the main computer in the car was changed and the grounds were tested. the second instance of this problem occurred on the same day the vehicle was picked up from repairs. the car had ~200 miles when the problem first occurred and has less than 250 currently. in summary, the car has turned off, making it unable to accelerate, while in traffic on several occasions. there were issues with apple carplay glitching just before each instance occurred. the instances were exactly one week apart.
I purchased my 2019 crosstrek in november of 2018. on numerous occasions the radio / touchscreen resets itself. however before each self started reset a loud buzzing or static noise comes across the speakers scaring the ever living daylights out of me (the driver). this is a safety concern / hazard as i was driving on the interstate on one occasion of this. i have had the whole system replaced by my dealership at no charge 1 month after purchase. yet the radio still has the same issues. all radio stations i have programmed in are erased with each self restart of the radio / touch screen that god awful noise still happens. subaru dealership says there are no software or hardware updates at this time. so what the heck gives!! seriously someone is going to crap their pants and have a heart attack driving this vehicle what the radio blasts static air waves across our speakers!
