2019 SUBARU CROSSTREK Complaints

WHILE DRIVING A SMALL ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING A CRACK WHICH HAS NOW TRAVELED ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. VEHICLE WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING A 5 WEEK OLD VEHICLE DOWN A STATE HIGHWAY, TWO LANE, 55MPH ROAD, THERE WAS A SMALL "TICK" SOUND THAT WAS VERY INSIGNIFICANT. THE PASSENGER POINTED OUT THAT THERE WAS NOW A CHIP AND CRACKS IN THE WINDSHIELD. THE SMALL SOUND, OR OBJECT THAT HIT THE WINDSHIELD WAS LESS SIGNIFICANT THAN SOME BUGS THAT HIT ON A DAILY BASIS. YET IT CHIPPED AND CRACKED THE 5 WEEK OLD CROSSTREK WINDSHIELD. THERE'S NO WAY THIS MINOR THING THAT TOUCHED THE WINDSHIELD SHOULD HAVE LEFT A MARK LET ALONE A CHIP AND CRACKS. LATER IN THE SAME WEEK, OUR OUTBACK THAT WAS PURCHASED THE SAME DAY BRAND NEW HAD THE SAME ISSUE, AND IT LEFT A CHIP AND CRACK.. FROM A VERY INSIGNIFICANT LITTLE SOMETHING THAT BARELY HIT THE WINDSHIELD.

MY CROSSTREK HAS HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED TWICE SO FAR IN 2019, BOTH DUE TO CRACKS THAT OCCURRED DURING NORMAL DRIVING OPERATION. EACH TIME, THE WINDSHIELD HAD BEEN CRACK FREE BEFORE THE CRACK OCCURRED. BOTH TIMES, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, ALTHOUGH AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS (65 MPH AND 30 MPH).

THE WINDSHIELD ON THE SUBJECT VEHICLE HAD AN 8 INCH CRACK SUDDENLY FORM WITHOUT HAVING BEEN STRUCK OR OTHERWISE DAMAGED IN ANY WAY. THE CRACK WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD TOWARDS THE CENTERLINE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.

PASSENGER FRONT DOOR, CORNER GLASS SPLINTERED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. UNLIKELY, A ROCK OR DEBRIS IMPACT BECAUSE OF LOCATION. POSSIBLE GLASS TEMPERED ISSUE?

WAS SITTING IN MY CAR WAITING IN A PARKING LOT AND I LOOK OUT MY WINDSHIELD AND A CRACK WAS HAPPENING RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES, I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A WEEK AND HAD AROUND 300 MILES ON IT

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND SMALL PIECE OF DEBRIS OR ROCK HIT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CAUSING A CRACK. THIS CAR HAS DRIVEN ROUGHLY 4300 MILES. SEEMS AS THOUGH THE WINDSHIELD CRACKS TOO EASILY.

SMALL CHIPS AND CRACKS IN THE WINDSHIELD FROM TINY ROCKS HITTING IT WHILE DRIVING AROUND 35 MILES PER HOUR ON CITY STREETS AND 70 MILES PER HOUR ON HIGHWAYS. THESE CRACKS HAVE HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES FROM SMALL ROCKS AND DEBRIS.

HAD A CRACK DEVELOP IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER SEEMINGLY OUT OF NOWHERE. HAD SAFELITE AUTOGLASS COME OUT AND REPAIR IT AT $115 OUT OF POCKET.

I PURCHASED THE CAR ON 12/26/2018. I HAVE TWO CHIPS IN THE WINDSHIELD, THE FIRST COMING LESS THAN THREE MONTHS (LESS THAN 6,000 MILES) AFTER PURCHASE AND THE LAST ONE ON 10/9/2019. BOTH OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST, ON A 2 LANE STATE HIGHWAY (NJ-RT 70 W) TRAVELING ABOUT 55 MPH. THE SECOND WAS ON RT 22 NEAR LANCASTER, PA GOING ABOUT 35 MPH. THE FIRST ONE HAS BEEN REPAIRED. THE SECOND CHIP WILL BE REPAIRED THIS WEEK. BOTH TIMES I HEARD AN OBJECT (PROBABLY DEBRIS/STONE/ETC) STRIKE THE WINDSHIELD AND WITHIN A FEW MILES, NOTICED CHIPS IN THE WINDSHIELD THAT NEEDED PROFESSIONAL REPAIR. I'VE OWNED AT LEAST 7 CARS, AND HAVE NEVER HAD EXPERIENCES WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WOULD CHIP AS FREQUENTLY AS THIS CAR.
