TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CONSUMED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE OIL WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO BUDD BAER SUBARU (71 MURTLAND AVE, WASHINGTON, PA 15301) AND SUBARU OF MOON TOWNSHIP (5450 UNIVERSITY BLVD, MOON TWP, PA 15108) AND WAS INFORMED THAT SIMILAR VEHICLES WERE KNOWN TO CONSUME EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AFTER MULTIPLE VISITS AND PERFORMANCE TESTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

FRONT WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A TINY CRACK WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, WHICH THEN QUICKLY PROPAGATED THROUGHOUT THE WINDSHIELD. WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE.

AFTER APPROXIMATELY 13 MONTHS, A REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK AGAIN IN THE SAME LOCATION EXPANDING TO ESTIMATED 12 INCHES.

TWO CRACKS APPEARED IN WINDSHIELD. I DO NOT KNOW IF A ROCK CAUSED IT. SMALL ROCK HITS BEFORE HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. THIESE LARGE CRACKS PROBABLY MEAN A NEW WINDSHIELD.

A SMALL CRACK EMANATING VERTICALLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ON THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN BEGINNING 1 MONTH AGO HAS SPREAD HORIZONTALLY TOWARDS THE DRIVER'S SIDE.

WINDSHIELD: THE OEM WINDSHIELD CRACKS EASILY AND MANUFACTURE WILL SAY NOT RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE IT'S NOT A "DEFECT", BUT THEY USED INFERIOR GLASS. CURRENTLY, I HAVE OVER 6 CRACKS AND EVERY TIME THE SMALLEST ITEM HITS IT, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKS. I'VE BEEN WITH NEW CAR DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 30YEARS AND OWNED MANY CARS AND NEVER HAD A WINDSHIELD CRACK SO EASILY. SMALL ROCKS WOULD HIT MY OTHER CARS AND JUST BOUNCE OFF, BUT NOT MY 2018 SUBARU LEGACY, AS I SAID AT "LEAST" 6 MARKS FROM ANYTHING HITTING MY WINDSHIELD IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO SEE, YET NO MARKS ON MY OTHER VEHICLE, WHICH IS A GM PRODUCT. TAKING A PICTURE IS TOO HARD TO SEE "ALL" THE SMALL CHIPS. I HAVEN'T REPLACED IT YET, HOPING A RECALL WOULD HAPPEN, OR SOMEONE WANTS TO LOOK AT ALL THE NICKS, SINCE I'VE OWNED IT NEW FROM 2018. THIS HAPPENS DRIVING SLOW, FAST, ANYWHERE A ROCK CAN FLY.

ON A COLDER 20 DEGREE MORNING, I STARTED MY 2018 SUBARU LEGACY TO WARM UP. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES AND BEFORE DRIVING AWAY, MY WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED AT THE BOTTOM NEAR THE WIPER BLADE / DEFROST VENTS. THE CRACK STARTS ON THE BOTTOM DRIVERS SIDE, COMES UP ABOUT 3 INCHES, THEN RUNS ACROSS ABOUT 18 INCHES TOWARDS THE PASSENGERS SIDE, AND THEN BACK DOWN AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE GARAGE, HE BECAME AWARE THAT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED IN THE CENTER.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE WINDSHIELD REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 32,610.
