One night while driving normally down a smooth road to our house, my fianc noticed a significantly large crack in the bottom of my windshield on the passenger side. I hadn't been hit by anything, nor was I anywhere near flying objects that could have caused said crack. Within the next two days or so the crack tripled in size with no reason. At this point it was across 1/4 or so of the bottom of my windshield. I immediately called subaru of georgetown to schedule a replacement. I had to pay out of pocket because my insurance screwed me over. That was $1000 I wasn't planning to spend while also planning my wedding.

While driving at highway speeds, my 2019 subaru ascent windshield cracked suddenly with no apparent cause. The crack was 2 inches wide in the upper center. Very upsetting as I had just bought the car the day prior. Dec 7th, 2019
Front windshield cracked for no reason.
Within a few months of just driving our 2019 ascent , the windshield seemed to have cracked overnight!! My wife had noticed it and said that when she was driving the day before she didn't notice it , but when she left in the morning it was there.
Windshield hit by small pebble on highway. Small chip formed. Withrn 5 minutes 10 inch spider cracks formed all around. Middle of a road trip had to turn back home and switch vehicles. Do not feel safe with a windshield soo fragile. Second subaru ive owned with same windhield issue. First was a 2018 subaru outback.
Crack in windshield appeared w/out usual sound or sign of debris. Dealer said it could not be repaired, only replaced & all systems recalibrated at owner's expense. I have driven over 1 million miles & have never seen a crack w/ no debris or if any, so small it made no impact. Just a crack appeared like it was pressure on the glass causing the crack.
Was traveling on the interstate around 65 MPH, tiny pebble hit windshield, chip in the windshield. We had it immediately repaired by a professional the next day. Vehicle sat in a garage overnight, never used after the repair and the next day, 12 inch long crack in windshield, not repairable at this point. Also, never even made one payment on the vehicle before this occurred and didnt even have 1k miles.
The windshield has lot of little rock dings in it which no other windshield on any other vehicle I have ever owned had. When I put subaru's replacement new windshield on it could have the same issues. The damage of the major crack is due to outside influence that I will have to replace the windshield and I have no windshield insurance but the small dings have to be addressed before I pay $826.65. The major crack happened while in motion as well as the many small dings on the highway and a few on city streets.
My car was parked. I saw a crack in the windshield (cause unknown) on the passenger side that began at the top glass and descended, then heading inwards towards the mirror. Over the course of 2 days, it has extended past the mirror into the driver view. The subaru glass (agc automotive, dot-376, m8h4 as1, 30e, lamisafe) could be faulty.
I recently noticed the windshield has thousands of millions of glaring specks/dots when facing the sunlight in early morning or late afternoon. The windshield becomes so blurry and extremely annoying. This happens when I face lights even night times with oncoming vehicles kinda of glare. I cleaned with multiple solutions not going at all, one angle can be seen very grey colored dot. Took to dealer and also agreed with this. Not sure what are my next steps, but I want this the federal safety agency look at seriously. My car is just about 2 months and 2k miles on it as of now.
While driving on the highway in the right lane at the speed limit of 65 MPH, the right rear window spontaneously shattered with no warning, no external impact, no other vehicles near by, and without prior impact to window.
