Sunroof glass exploded out while driving on highway at 70 MPH. Happened at 7 a.m. 5/10/2021 in mechanicsville va. Nothing hit the vehicle and it was about 63 degrees outside. I haven't used the sunroof in weeks. It made no since. I googled and saw where this has been reported to have happened to them on their outback and some other vehicles too. I thankfully had the inside cover panel slid forward so none of the glass came down on me. I took the car back home but as I drove slower, the glass kept coming apart. At first it was a square area about 6" x 4" missing when I first stopped and the rest was all shattered like little squares but in place. Then as I drove home at a slower speed on the side roads, it continued falling in onto the headliner slide cover.
A 12 inch crack in the windshield appeared after I heard a loud sharp sound. The vehicle was in motion traveling 55 MPH on a four lane highway (briley parkway) in nashville, tennessee.
Bought brand new, in 5 months the windshield had a cracked windshield, not the impact strike spider type, but from the drivers side edge, straight line crack 2 feet long. The second time a crack, straight line type from the passenger edge. The vehicle was in motion both times, 50 miles an hour, no other vehicles around. While driving with the crack, the crack would get longer. Never scene anything like it.
The windshield cracked in the garage while it was stationary. Nothing physically damaged the windshield and it cracked on its own. This happened twice on my 2017 subaru outback as well. I see that there is a class action lawsuit in place and I would like to get added as this is the third time this has happened.
I was driving and my windshield just cracked.
While interacting with the rear of the car while it was parked and shut off, I had accidently triggered the "hands-free power rear gate" feature and the gate began to open. Rather than wait for the tail gate to fully open, I gently pushed the rear tail gate against the automatic opening back into the closed position. At this point, the car beeped at me three times and the rear tail gate would no longer latch itself closed, even when closed manually. I was forced to drive the vehicle with the tail gate unsecured, it would open itself while driving because the latch would not engage and hold it closed.

Consumer writes in regards to defective rear liftgate. *ld the consumer inadvertently activated the rear liftgate becoming trapped between the liftgate and garage door until it reached it's maximum open capability. The consumer sustained two cuts behind the right ear, severe bruising and scraping on the arm, neck and head.
We were driving down hiway 50 near gunnison co when we heard a sharp sound followed by the windshield cracking. Within a few seconds, this was repeated but the cracking occurred in a different place on the windshield.
Tl* the contact owns a 2020 subaru outback. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH the front driver's side windshield started to crack. The crack started from the lower section of the windshield. The cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle was repaired at a glass repair facility.

Driving on highway, 65 MPH. Hear a small "click." look over and discover a 6" crack in the windshield. I've been driving for 40 year and know what it sounds like when a stone hits the windshield. This wasn't a stone.
Got into the car , shut the door and the rear window shattered. The car is two weeks old.
