I drove approximately 100 minutes to central illinois on a 80 degree and sunny afternoon. I parked my car on the street and when I returned to it 45 minutes later, there was a 12inch crack on my passenger side windshield. There was no apparent point of contact in the crack and there were no large sticks or branches on the car. It appeared as if the crack happened on its own. I got the crack repaired recently and it cost over $1,000 to fix.

Windshield was cracked. Started out along bottom on driver's side and expanded up and across driver's side. From what I could tell, nothing hit the windshield to initiate the crack. Had to get replaced.

Read windshield glass spontaneously broke with no damage. Had to get service to repair and replace. Vehicle was stationary, parked in front of my house, on a residential street, parked and not in use at the time of the break.

I have an 'l' shaped crack in my windshield that is approximately 6"x6". The windshield sustained a small chip from a rock strike and before I could get the superficial chip fixed it turned into a very large 'l' shaped crack. The rock strike occurred while I was driving on the highway but the subsequent crack occurred while the car was stationary in my driveway. I was sitting in the car when the window cracked and other than it being a summer day the circumstances leading up to the cracking windshield were normal. The picture provided with this complaint shows the crack. I tried to outline the cracked area with yellow to make it more evident. The other lines in the photo are a reflection of the overhanging powerlines.

The windshield cracked during the summer for no apparent reason, no obvious signs of chip in windshield surface. Crack starts upper middle edge of glass, down passed rearview mirror, then half way across passenger side, about 1/3 way down from top. We are getting it replaced now.

Windshield is cracking for no certain reason.

I got in my 2017 crosstrek premium on february 11, 2020 that was parked in my driveway and noticed a crack in the passenger side windshield. It was not there the day before. I did not hit anything, nothing hit me. I do not off road. The crack was spontaneous. Now the crack has sprouted into several spontaneous cracks that are continually getting worse, climbing approx. 1/3 of the way up the windshield! I have photos of the progression of the crack starting february 2020 to the present, each month, if needed.
