My windshield cracked when I used the washer fluid. It cracked from the bottom where the VIN number is and continued across the windshield. I went to the Subaru dealer in Portage Indiana, to have it fixed under the extended warranty I received from Subaru for faulty windshields the dealer told me that it cracked in the wrong spot, and would not be covered. The dealer agreed that the windshield crack was not from any type of impact.

I used my windshield washer fluid to wash my windshield and a crack appeared from the bottom driver side of my windshield. I took the car to a Subaru dealership to have the windshield replaced under the Subaru extended windshield warranty program since there was no impact. My claim was denied because the crack was too far towards the driver side of the car.

My 2015 Legacy developed a 8 inch crack on the bottom right of the windshield at passenger side last 2 days. No sign of rock hitting, it just chip & crack without any sound. Never have any windshield cracking experienced in my 40 years of driving, with other brand car. It should be a product problem, manufacturer should be under investigate for affected brand/year car. A recall and replacement should be provided to car owner.

I have a 2015 legacy with 2 window cracks. I received a notice in the mail regarding extended warranty from subaru that they would cover replacing the windshield. I took it to the dealer today and they said it is not covered that it looks like impact happened to windshield. When I dropped off the vehicle last night there was only 1 crack and today there are 2. There was no impact to the windshield and the dealer says they don't do it there. I need your help. The windshield was defective and subaru admitted it but the dealers don't want to fix. I will also need the one site re calibrated once the window is replaced which they say is not covered. How could that be? They said I should file an insurance claim which seems like insurance fraud.

Sitting in parked vehicle, motor off, windows down heard a quick popping sound. I looked sitting in parked vehicle, engine off, windows down, heard a quick popping noise. A quick inspection, looking around saw nothing. About 20 minutes later driving home, top speed 35 MPH, on a local community road, saw a hairpin crack starting from bottom of window, driver's side, going up across windshield and midway across. The window was clear except for crack. Called a reputable company to schedule appointment. The representative suggested I call the subaru maintenance department as previous subaru customers had recall on windshield. I call to learn VIN not a recall. I am extremely happy with my subaru. I have taken the vehicle back to the subaru dealer from whom I purchased every six month for oil change and all recommended mileage maintenance inspection. Due to low mileage, 26,433, could it be possible the windshield may be defective? Thanking you in advance for a quick response.😊

The windshield is defective. It seems to crack and chip with any impact at all. Road salt at city speeds has caused chips. I have had the windshield replaced and the replacement subaru glass is also defective.
