THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED FROM THE BOTTOM UP, TWICE WITHIN 9 MONTHS. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. THE FIRST TIME, THE DEALER WAS NICE ENOUGH TO REPLACE IT FOR FREE. THE SECOND WINDSHIELD HAS ONLY BEEN INSTALLED FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS. PICTURE ATTACHED IS THE SECOND CRACK. FIRST CRACK STARTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SEEMINGLY OUT OF NOWHERE. IT WAS PARKED IN A GARAGE AND I CAME OUT AFTER WORK TO A CRACK 4-6 INCHES LONG. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2019 SUBARU CROSSTREK HYBRID ON 5/31/19. I HAD THE FIRST INCIDENCE OF THE ?ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON? IN OCTOBER 9, 2019. AS I WAS BETWEEN TOWNS IN RURAL NORTHERN NY, AND 75 MILES FROM HOME THIS WAS SCARY. I PULLED OVER, CHECKED THE OIL AND FLUIDS (ALL WERE OK), AND CALLED THE DEALER. THEY SAID I COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND TO BRING IT IN THE NEXT DAY WHEN I GOT HOME. SO I CONTINUED TO MY NEXT DESTINATION AND SHUT OFF THE CAR FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS DURING OUR HAIRCUTS. THEN WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR THE PROBLEM RECURRED. I DROVE PART WAY HOME THAT WAY AND WE STOPPED AT A RESTAURANT FOR SUPPER. WHEN WE RESUMED OUR TRIP AFTER SUPPER THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE GONE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY, OCTOBER 10. THEY COULD FIND NO REASON FOR THE PROBLEM AND IT WAS NOT THEN OCCURRING. SUBSEQUENTLY THE PROBLEM RECURRED ON 12/20, 12/21, AND 12/22/19. AND ON 1/16/20 THE HEADLIGHTS WOULDN?T WORK! ON FEBRUARY 12, 2020 THE PROBLEM RECURRED ON A TRIP OUT OF TOWN. I HAVE VISITED THE DEALER FOUR MORE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM ? ON 11/19/19, 12 /12/19, 12/20/19, AND 1/2/20. DURING THAT TIME THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THERE WERE MULTIPLE REPORTS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON 2019 CROSSTREK HYBRIDS. HE ASKED ME, AND I AGREED, TO BE ONE OF A DOZEN CROSSTREK OWNERS IN THE US TO HAVE MONITORING HARDWARE INSTALLED TO READ THE ELECTRONIC CODES WHICH RESULTED WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. ON FEBRUARY 12, 2020 THE PROBLEM RECURRED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER TO LET THEM KNOW. ON MAY 7TH 2020, THE PROBLEM RECURRED YET AGAIN. BARSTOW?S SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONTACTED ME TO ARRANGE FOR ANOTHER APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR 6/8/20. THE PURPOSE WAS TO UPDATE THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM WITH A ?FIX? DERIVED FROM THE STUDY IN WHICH I PARTICIPATED IN DEC 2019-JANUARY 2020. THE NEXT DAY, JUNE 9, I STARTED THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM RECURRED! *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET APPLIED MY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AT A RED LIGHT MY DRIVER'S SEAT SLID FORWARD VERY FAST PINNING ME AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. AT THAT TIME MY LEG WAS FOLDED CAUSE I WAS UP AGAINST DASH AND IT MADE ME SLAM MY BRAKES ON VERY FAST AND QUICK. I AM LUCKY MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS AT THE TIME OR I WOULD HAVE WENT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. THE NEXT DAY AS I WAS DRIVING MY SEAT SLID FORWARD A LITTLE BUT LOCKED INTO THE NEXT SPOT. I HAD GOTTEN A HOLD OF SUBARU AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT BUT THEY CANNOT SEE ME FOR A WEEK. IT IS VERY UNSAFE SOMEONE COULD REALLY GET HURT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 MPH, A SMALL ROCK POPPED UP AND HIT MY WINDSHIELD IMMEDIATELY CAUSING AN APPROXIMATE ONE INCH CHIP IN THE GLASS. APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS LATER, THE CHIP EXPANDED TO AN ALMOST 12 INCH CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. A SMALL ROCK SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THAT MUCH DAMAGED TO ANY WINDSHIELD. *TR

OUR 2019 SUBARU CROSSTREK (16.8K MILES) IS NOT BEING DRIVEN AS OFTEN AS IT USED TO BE BECAUSE WE ARE NOW WORKING FROM HOME. ON 4/4/2020 WE FOUND THE ORIGINAL BATTERY DRAINED DEAD AFTER ONLY 6 DAYS OF THE CAR BEING UNDRIVEN. TRIED AND FAILED TO START THE CAR - DASHBOARD LIGHTS LIT UP BUT THERE WERE RAPID CLICKING SOUNDS. TO GET IT TO THE DEALER, I STARTED THE PROCESS OF JUMP STARTING IT WITH MY BATTERY-PACK TYPE JUMP STARTER. I ATTACHED THE POSITIVE CABLE TO THE POSITIVE TERMINAL FIRST, AND THE JUMP STARTER'S INDICATOR LIGHT WAS FLASHING 'ALL GOOD ' CONTINUE'. I THEN ATTACHED THE NEGATIVE CABLE TO THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT TURNED RED, WHICH MEANS 'THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG ' DO NOT PROCEED'. ON 4/6, I BROUGHT THE DEAD BATTERY TO THE DEALER USING MY OTHER CAR. THEY CHECKED THE BATTERY AND BECAUSE THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, I RECEIVED A NEW SUBARU-BRANDED BATTERY. I WENT HOME, INSTALLED IT, AND TURNED THE CAR ON TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WORKED. ON 4/10, WE STARTED UP THE CROSSTREK AND TOOK IT FOR A SEVERAL-MILE TRIP. 6 DAYS LATER, AFTER THE CAR NOT BEING DRIVEN, THE NEW BATTERY WAS DEAD - KEY FOB WOULD NOT OPEN THE CAR, NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON WHEN WE TRIED TO START THE CAR. USING MY JUMP STARTER AGAIN, I RECEIVED THE SAME INDICATOR LIGHT WARNING. WE HAD THE CROSSTREK TOWED TO THE DEALER ON 4/16. TECHNICIANS COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY CHARGED THE BATTERY AND KEPT THE CAR UNTIL 4/20 WHEN THEY TRIED TO START IT UP ' IT STARTED. WE PICKED THE CAR UP AND DROVE IT HOME. TODAY IS 4/27. THE CAR HAS STARTED UP AFTER 6 DAYS OF NOT BEING DRIVEN ALTHOUGH LAST WED. AND SUN. I CHARGED THE BATTERY A BIT USING A TRICKLE CHARGER. I CURRENTLY DO NOT GET A WARNING LIGHT ON MY JUMP STARTER WHEN I DO A TEST. WE ARE NOW GOING TO DRIVE IT WHEN WE NEED TO WITHOUT USING THE BATTERY CHARGER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

A VERY SMALL ROCK THAT WAS FLUNG FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE ABOUT 40-50 AHEAD OF ME, GOING 35 MILES PER HOUR ON A STRAIGHT AWAY IN TOWN, HIT MY WINDSHIELD RESULTING IN A SMALL STAR WHICH WITHIN ABOUT 10 MINUTES TURNED INTO A LARGE CRACK SPANNING FROM THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE UPWARDS TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I'VE HAD 3 REPAIRS DONE ON THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO PEBBLES CHIPPING THE GLASS, AND NOW WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR AN EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE THIN GLASS AND THE EYESIGHT SAFETY CAMERAS.
Visibility/wiper, Apr 26, 2020
LONG CRACKING OF THE WINDSHIELD AFTER MINIMAL TRAUMA. THERE IS EXCESSIVE PITTING OF THE GLASS FOR THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. SPECIFICALLY, A 6 INCH CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD WAS INDUCED BY A PEBBLE WHILE CRUISING AT 60 MPH. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE WITH SO MUCH WINDSHIELD DAMAGE PER MILE OF USE. THE CAR HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT, AND I'VE TAKEN 5 OTHER CARS WELL ABOVE 100,000 MILES EACH.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW SUBARU CROSSTREX FROM THE DEALER ON MAY 28TH, AND IT ARRIVED WITH LESS THAN 200 MILES ON IT. ON JUNE 9TH, NEVER TRAVELLED ON A HIGHWAY AND ONLY DRIVEN ON VILLAGE STREETS SURROUNDING MY HOME, IT ENCOUNTERED A CHIP/SMALL CRACK. THIS WAS REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. I AM NOTING THAT EACH BRAND NEW SUBARU VEHICLE PURCHASED HAS HAD A CHIP/CRACK WITHIN WEEKS TO MONTHS OF PURCHASE. PRIOR TO THESE TWO VEHICLES, I HAD PURCHASED A SUBARU SEDAN, BRAND NEW FROM THE FACTORY, AND IN THE 10 YEARS I OWNED IT, WITH 100K MILES, IT NEVER HAD ONE CHIP NOR CRACK ON THE WINDSHIELD BETWEEN THE YEARS 2006 TO 2016.

Power train, Mar 19, 2020, crash
PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK,TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, REMOVED THE KEY AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. WHEN RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE WITHIN 5 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED BACKWARDS 25 FEET AND HIT 2 PARKED CARS. I UNLOCKED THE VEHICLE, ENTERED IT AND STARTED THE CAR TO RETURN TO MY ORIGINAL PARKING SPACE SO I COULD CALL THE POLICE TO REPORT A FENDER BENDER. I WILL BE CALLING MY DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED FOR SAFETY. IN THE MEANTIME I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AS AN ADDED PRECAUTION.

THE WINDHSHILD OF THE SUBARU CROSSTEK 2019 CHIPPED WITH THE TINIEST OF THE STONES THAT FLUNG OVER FROM A DIFFERENT TRUCK OR VEHICLE PASSING BY ON THE HIGHWAY. WE WERE ALSO DRIVING IN EXIT LANE AND CONSIDERABLE SLOWER THAN PASSING TRAFFIC. THE STONES WAS TOO SMALL TO CAUSE A 12 INCH LINE ON THE DRIVER SIDE.. I THINK THERE IS A FARGILITY PROBLEM OR ASSEMBLY PROBLEM IN SUBARU CROSSTEK THAT MAKES SO MANY WINDSHILED BREAKS/CHIPS.

DRIVING MY 2019 SUBARU, CROSSTREK IN THE #1 LANE WESTBOUND ON THE 118 FREEWAY UTILIZING MY EYESIGHT DRIVERS ASSIST AND CRUISE SET AT 65 MPH, INTO MY OFFICE ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 2020 @ 5:30 AM. IT WAS LIGHTLY RAINING AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ON. PRIOR TO PASSING THE TAMPA OFFRAMP, I THOUGHT I HEARD A "PING" ON MY WINDSHIELD. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY OFFICE, I INSPECTED MY WINDSHIELD AND COULD NOT LOCATE ANY DAMAGE. THE RAIN CONTINUED ALL DAY AND WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR @ 2:30 PM, I SAW THAT MY WINDSHIELD HAD CRACKED HORIZONTALLY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOUT 7" LONG, 6 INCHES FROM THE BOTTOM WHERE THE WINDSHIELD IS MOUNTED. I CHECKED WITH SUBARU ABOUT THE GOLD EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED TO SEE IF IT COVERED THE REPLACEMENT AS WELL AS INQUIRE IF MY REGULAR WARRANTY WOULD COVER REPLACEMENT SINCE I HAVE NOT HAD THE CAR FOR EVEN 2 YEARS YET. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOT COVERED AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO PURCHASE A NEW SUBARU WINDSHIELD FOR ABOUT $950.00 PLUS THE RE-CALIBRATION CHARGES OF THE EYESIGHT CAMERAS ANOTHER $200.00. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE THAT A WINDSHIELD WOULD CRACK THAT EASILY AND NOT BE SUPPORTED BY SUBARU SINCE THE CAR IS STILL RELATIVELY NEW. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS REGARDING A WINDSHIELD THAT SHOULD BE PROTECTING ME AND NOT CRACK BY A TINY LITTLE ROCK DETERMINED VERY SMALL SINCE THE SOUND WAS JUST A "PING"? PLEASE ADVISE ME OF WHAT I SHOULD DO NEXT REGARDING THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS WINDSHIELD. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

AFTER A FEW WEEKS AND ~400 MILES ON MY CAR, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND SOMETHING SMALL HIT MY WINDSHIELD. NOTHING SHOWED UNTIL A FEW HOURS LATER WHEN A CRACK ABOUT 2 FEET LONG SHOWED. AT THE TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE ODD THAT SOMETHING SO SMALL COULD HAVE CREATED SUCH A LARGE CRACK. THEN I READ AN ARTICLE ONLINE AND FOUND OUT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME ISSUE, SO I WANTED TO SHARE MY INFO IN CASE IT SUPPORTS A TREND. I ASKED SUBARU WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $2500 TO FIX WHICH I FOUND ABSURD.

PREMATURE CRACKING OF THE WINDSHIELD IN THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VISION. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65-70MPH) ON I-80, WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35F. OVER THE NEXT TWO MONTHS, THE CRACK LENGTHENED FROM ~2IN TO OVER 12IN.
