One morning when I got in my car the windshield had a large crack. Driver side about half way down the crack is from left to right around 12-14”. There is no apparent reason I can see for the crack. I had not driven the car for 2 days prior to the crack appearing.

I have a 2019 Subaru Impreza and my windshield cracked for the second time in two years. I was driving and heard a loud pop and the windshield cracked from the top about a foot down. Nothing hit the windshield. The first time this happened, the car was sitting in the driveway. I have an appointment with the dealer tomorrow. I verified that this is happening to others and that there is a class action lawsuit against Subaru for cracked windshields: https://www.torquenews.com/1084/new-ruling-subaru-cracked-windshield-lawsuit-now-adds-25m-cars My make and model is included.
WINDSHEILD CRACKED FOR NO REASON. Noticed crack after car sat in driveway all day.
The car windshield cracked while driving without any apparent reason. It is a large horizontal crack on the driver's side which affects visibility.
The windshield cowl separates at the bottom of the windshield for reasons such as heat. The separation grows over time and has the potential to detach on the highway partially or entirely. If detached partially, obstructs vision and scares. If entirely, could impact following vehicle. This problem is reproduced and confirmed by both my dealership and multiple independent online sources. Look for "windshield cowl seperation" topics for 17+ imprezas and 18+ crosstreks. This issue became apparent within the first year of ownership, was serviced at the dealership by replacing the part under warranty, and now has occurred once more in my second year of ownership. Attached photograph shows the beginning of separation (not the wiper). This can grow in size very quick. Noted additional details are dated for last occurrence, however as stated 1 more occurrence has occurred 1 year ago at approx 5,000 miles.
The windshield of the care cracked without damage. I was sitting with the car in park and just watched it crack. It started from the edge near the seal, and is ~8 inches long. There was no previous damage and nothing hit the window when it happen. There is no chip or area where damage occurred, it just simple cracked for no reason.

The windshield of my subaru impreza 2019 got a crack and chip for no reason, just staying on parking. No objects got onto the windshield. No activity could happen around the vehicle, because parking is very limited and in a private area, far from the road or any other vehicles. Never saw any chips before. I have more photos of that area (before the visit to the dealer). Subaru dealer (in exton, pa) refused to replace it under warranty. When I left the car at the dealer to get other fixes - they made the crack bigger. And again, refused even to discuss their fault.

My vehicle was left stationary, parked outside my apartment over the weekend. And on monday I noticed a 5 to 6 inch crack coming from the right edge of my windshield. I believe this crack is a result of the current windshield lawsuit that subaru is dealing with. The site I found the information about the lawsuit told me to file a complaint here if my vehicle was effected.
The windshield on my 2019 subaru impreza keeps cracking for no reason or like this last time when a tiny pebble hit it. There isn't even a mark on the windshield nor can anything be felt but there is now a crack in the glass. As of tomorrow I'll be having my 3rd windshield installed in under 4 months.
This happened in may 2020. I purchased the vehicle in october 2019. Car was being driven on busy highway and windshield cracked. Not sure if it was struck by object or not. I could not really see if the damage was caused by an object. Within a week of two, the crack had traveled almost all the way across the entire windshield. Recently I have noticed that the crack is widening. I am in the process of replacing the windshield. This may become a safety issue. I fear that the entire windshield may just collapse. In my opinion, I think these windshields are made of defective material that is unsafe. The crack is now as wide as the size of a toothpick. Please see images.

Today, august 7, 2020 we noticed on our parked 2019 subaru impreza the windshield was cracked. The crack starts where the review mirror is attached and runs vertically all the way down. This appears to have started on the inside. There is no damage from a rock or other debris sticking the windshield. A search online has shown multiple lawsuits against subaru for defective windshields. We have not yet contacted subaru but felt a complaint was warranted as this appears to be an issue with subaru vehicles.
Driving along the highway when I heard a small cracking sound. No large debris or rock noted from highway. All of a sudden a large crack appeared on the right-hand passenger side and extended to the middle of the windshield. I called subaru dealership and said they would have to determine if it was a stress crack or not for it to be covered; they determined that it would not be covered because it is not a stress crack.
I was driving on a city street with no traffic in front of me when my windshield spontaneously started to crack from below where I could see from inside the car. The crack quickly spidered out. The crack starts at the bottom of the glass where it is installed. The crack is large, wide, and deep.
