Recently reported VISIBILITY/WIPER problems on 2019 Subaru Outback

2019 subaru outback purchased december 2018, sand strike chipped and cracked the windshield within one month. this morning as we were driving down the street with no other traffic my wife noticed a crack forming and growing up from the bottom of the windshield on the passenger's side. the crack is now 17" long

Windshield cracked while parked overnight, nothing apparent came in contact with it to cause this.

I was driving into work on a smooth road in clear conditions when i heard a pop. windshield had a large star bust and crack spreading from the center. nothing hit the windshield. there weren't any extreme temps (it was about 60 degrees out) and i didn't have the heat or ac on.

My windshield was cracked starting under the wiper blade, at the lower center of the windshield, and cracked upwards about 5 inches, and spilt in two different directions. one length about 9 inches and the other side about 12 inches, and the cracks seem to be extending. the car was parked in my driveway. as i see it, around the crack there are no cracks, dings, chips, or any marks. the look of the crack doesn't resemble different shatter. my car is a 2019 vehicle that only has about 10,000 miles so quite new.

Windshield cracked about 10 inches while driving in cold weather with no apparent reason while driving about 55 mph on highway with defrost on

I was driving down the highway and my windshield cracked on the bottom left or drivers side. there was no impact on the windshield of any kind. no traffic and smooth highway. temp was around 66 degrees. started out as a 5 inch crack from the bottom up and had a very small divot. then spread to a 10 inch crack very quickly. i called the dealership and they said crack was caused by outside force due to the tiny divot. they say the only way for a divot is impact with a outside force. that is not a true statement. a small divot can occur from a stress crack of from spontaneously cracking. the eyesight technology does not work with any other windshield, you must buy the factory windshield. i do not feel safe driving my car with a subpar windshield. please help in this very serious safety issue being ignored by subaru. i have zero confidence in the new windshield. this needs to be addressed.

Windshield cracked from left inside lower passenger side. vehicle was driving down road. i did not see anything hit the windshield. it immediately made an s shaped crack

While driving under normal highway conditions in fair weather, a large crack appeared in the windshield on the drivers side, starting at the bottom near the wiper, and extending approximately 10-12 inches curving up and toward the center of the windshield. there was no apparent impact or noise prior to the crack appearing. the crack compromises subaru's eye-sight safety feature as well as the integrity of the windshield in general, creating a significant safety hazard for the vehicle occupant(s). i have filed a claim with aaa pending service with subaru which is scheduled on 01/13/20 (attached confirmation from aaa)

The vehicle was stationary in my garage. the next day i came out and there was a crack in my windshield. it was completely fine the night before.

I was driving down the highway at 70mph and my windshield cracked on the bottom left or drivers side. there was absolutely no impact on the windshield of any kind. no traffic and smooth highway. temp was around 30 degrees. started out as a 5 inch crack from the bottom up and had a very small divot. then spread to a 15 inch crack very quickly. i brought the car to the dealership with in 24 hours and they filed a claim with subaru. within 4 hours the dealership called and said claim was denied. they said crack was caused by outside force due to the tiny divot. the dealership quoted me just under $700. not being happy with that i called subaru customer service and they very quickly threw $500 at me to help with the repair. which does not cover the entire cost of the repair. these windshields seem to have a recurring problem with spontaneously cracking and subaru is brushing it off. the eyesight technology does not work with any other windshield, you must buy the factory windshield. i do not feel safe driving my car with a subpar ...

Windshield cracked for no apparent reason. when i parked the vehicle in front of my residence, the windshield was fine. when i came back after parking the vehicle overnight, the windshield was cracked.

Went out to garage to get into my 2019 outback and noticed crack on driver side of car. starts down low all the way to the left and tracks up and over. crack was not there when i parked the car the night before.

I ran some errands one evening and parked my car with a completely crack free windshield, and when i got back to my car, the windshield was cracked from the passenger side and there is no evidence of impact to cause the crack.

I have owned my outback for 6 months. in that time i have had my windshield crack 2 times with no apparent damage. the first time was 2 weeks after ownership, driving down the highway, not impact from anything and it just cracked. second was tonight, driving home i heard what sounded like a large drip, next thing i know my windshield is cracked on the bottom near the defroster. i looked along the crack and their is no chip or evidence of impact.

Front windshield cracked, first on the drivers side. crack started halfway up near where it is glued and then spread out about 2 feet directly in the drivers view, very minor impact according to subaru dealer. four days later an other crack started halfway up on the passengers side also near the glue point and then spread out about 2 feet directly in the passengers view. crack are unrelated and according to the dealer both were from minor impacts although i can not see any inpact on the passenger side. also neither crack was there when the car was parked for the night, both were discovered in the morning.
