Windshield glass cracks very easily from rocks. In the last year I’ve had 7 cracks form. I’ve never had this trouble with any other vehicle including a 2012 Subaru that I own and drive just as much. This impairs my vision and decreases the windshield integrity. I have claimed all windshield through my insurance and it has been very expensive. The only glass I can replace the windshields with is Subaru glass. The quality is very poor. I will upload the 2 most recent cracks.

The original windshield cracked starting at the bottom left corner and quickly spread across the entire window. I went to Subaru and paid to replace the window. Within 2 weeks the window had cracked again and spread across the entire window.

The windshield cracked for no apparent reason. Because my wife works from home the car sat in the driveway for over a week and when she went out to use the car she noticed the windshield was cracked.

My windshield spontaneously cracked while the car was sitting in my garage. The crack is in the lower portion of the windshield just above the defroster. It is approximately 2 feet long with 2 perpendicular cracks radiating from it. I am contacting the subaru dealer for repair.

The windshield formed a crack towards the bottom of the passenger side and was about 3-5inches to start. Over time, the crack grew to approximately over 1ft. Later on, another crack began forming on the drivers side of the windshield, also starting at only a few inches, and now has grown into almost 1ft long. Am in process of looking to have it repaired, but have not set a date yet. Having a cracked windshield is an overall safety risk any time you drive the car due to it's ability to impact visibility as it grows/becomes worse. The windshield has not yet been inspected by: manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, but has been seen during State Inspection. There were no warnings/messages/symptoms before seeing the crack - They first appeared a day or two after I had recently had my car's oil changed at an autobody shop. My friend noticed it when sitting in the car when we got in at my driveway. There are no signs of malicious or accidental damage present where the crack begins, and no signs of a dent from a rock chipping the windshield.

Our car's windshield has had many random cracks over the past few years, 4 times now we have experienced spontaneous cracks more so than in any other vehicle I've ever owned. Today we found a new crack towards the bottom of the vehicle, as large as my palm going two separate ways and we have no idea why or how it happened. The car was not moving when we noticed this, it was only until after it was parked did we see this. I am very disappointed in the quality of the windshield on the model of this car and am concerned for our safety if it continues to happen.
