I bought a 2019 forrester subaru and experienced a crack on the front windshield for no apparent reason. i noticed the crack as i was driving it home the day i bought it. i have read that many other 2019 subaru forester owners experienced cracks on their windshields for no apparent reason. subaru forester uses special glass to ensure the cameras inside the vehicle work so perhaps the glass is defective. subaru has had issues with their windshield in the past with older models.
