2022 SUBARU OUTBACK Complaints

Bought 2022 Subaru with eyesight system October 2022. We have replaced this windshield 4 times. Once was 1 month old after backing out of garage in cold weather and it cracked spontaneously. Since then we replaced entire windshield in December 2022, Feb 2023, March 2023 and May 2023 Subaru reports windshield is now made from acoustic glass but are not holding up against normal use.

parked my car in the garage one night 2 days later got in it and it and a huge crack in it. started from the edge of the drivers side. no apparent chip, dont remember a rock hitting it - it is just cracked

Pulled into a parking space at the Village Green strip mall, applied brakes and immediately, the engine accelerated and lunged my vehicle into another car that was parked in the parking space in front of my car. When the car accelerated, the brakes did not work. I reversed the car since it continued to accelerate into the parked car in front of me and the car went back as fast as it was accelerating forward. I put the car into drive since I had parked cars behind me as well. The car accelerated forward at a very high rate, I did not have brakes, I guided the car between parked cars as best I could but could not make a left turn and the car drove into a brick building in the strip mall. I opened a claim with Subaru Corp, Case #230508-190-1112.

Never had a windshield so sensitive in the many many cars I've owned over the years. We haver had several chips filled that just randomly appear on the glass and never heard or saw anything hit. Finally one morning went out to the car to find a 12" long crack on the passenger side of the windshield. Paid my deductible and had it replaced and the NEXT DAY, less than 24 hours later sitting in a parking lot and it randomly cracked again. Took it back to the repair shop and they said it wasn't a problem with their install and I need to pay AGAIN for another windshield? These things shouldn't be cracking and chipping this easily.

I bought this car Jan2022. Windshield cracked around March 2022. Again windshield cracked 5/1/2023.

I was parked on my family’s driveway in Southern California. The car had been stations for about 3hrs and was parked outside. 10-30seconds after unlocking and starting the car I had a loud crunch/crack sound at which point I saw a 2-4” dual crack that appeared in the centre of the windshield. This happened while stationary without any impact. The crack size increased with vechicle movement. I’d like to report this as a concern give the sudden and unexpected nature of this crack to the front windshield

We purchased this vehicle new July 2022. December 29 2022 the windshield cracked due to unknown causes. March 19, 2023 a small rock hit the windshield while on on ramp to interstate and the windshield instantly had a large crack. We have never had a vehicle windshield crack this easily.

Horizontal stress crack middle of windshield from driver side to almost center of windshield. Stress crack keeps extending towards passenger side. Car was parked outside, sunny day @ 78DEG. Are clostest to edge I can get my fingernail in maybe the thickness of 3-4 sheets of paper. Line of site obscured due to crack.

Windshield crack formed despite no outside cause. In morning it was there. I went to Schlossman Subaru and they documented situation and said they would contact Subaru. I have tried to contact them several times for follow-up but they have not responded.

Large crack developed in the lower/middle driver’s side windshield, spreading to the middle of the windshield. There is no obvious/apparent damage that caused this, with the crack starting at the edge of the windshield, and spreading inward.
