2019 SUBARU FORESTER Complaints

26,000 MILES ON MY CAR NO REAL REASON AS TO WHY MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED. BUT IT DID, THERE WAS NO WINDSHIELD CHIP. IT JUST DECIDED TO CRACK. REALLY FRUSTRATING WHILE OUT OF TOWN. COSTS $1200.00.

MY FORESTER HAVE WINDSHIELD CRACKED WITHOUT ANY REASON. NO STONE HITTING NO CHIPS. JUST BROKEN WHILE IT'S PARKED. IT'S DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

WHILE CLEANING THE INSIDE FRONT WINDSHIELD, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED. I DIDN'T APPLY ANY UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF PRESSURE, JUST "REGULAR" WIPING PRESSURE. IT HAS SINCE "SPIDERED" OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS.

I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY ABOUT 55 MPH WHEN MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER I COULD NOT SEE A ROCK OR ANYTHING ELSE, EXCEPT A TINY DOT AND A CRACK GOING OUT FROM IT. OVER THE NEW FEW DAYS THE CRACK STARTED GROWING. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND I ONLY HAD IT FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT.

STARTED CAR ON A COLD MORNING, TURNED ON DEFROSTER AND WENT INSIDE GOT BACK IN CAR STARTED TO BACK OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED A HUGE CRACK STARTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEED THE BOTTOM OF THE WIPER BLADE. AS I DROVE THE CRACK GOT WORSE NOW IT IS HALFWAY ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE FIRST CRACK APPEARED

DRIVING DOWN A SIDE STREET I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE I HIT THE BRAKES AND INSTEAD LURCHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I PUSHED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME ABOUT 8 FEET AND FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. DURING THIS TIME I REPEATEDLY PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND HAD NO RESPONSE. AFTER HAVING THE CAR REPAIRED AT THE COLLISION CENTER THEY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO SUBARU. SUBARU RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. AFTER I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE FROM THE COLLISION CENTER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DETECTOR WOULD NOT GO OFF FOR MY WIFE WHO WEIGHS UNDER 100 POUNDS.'TO CLARIFY THE SENSOR INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG WAS OFF.' I SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. TOTAL DAMAGE TO MY CAR WAS ABOUT $8200 AND I'M NOT CERTAIN OF THE DAMAGES TO THE OTHER VEHICLE.

WINDSHIELD WAS STRUCK BY A SMALL ROCK WHILE GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS (DRIVER DID NOT SEE THE ROCK), CAUSING A 2 MM ROUGH CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD AND A 1 CM CRACK ON THE OUTSIDE AND ANOTHER 1 CM CRACK ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD.
