I HAD MY WINDSHIELD REPLACED IN MARCH 2019. GOT A ROCK CHIP IN THE REPLACED WINDSHIELD FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY PROGRAM THROUGH SUBARU. THREE DAYS LATER I COME OUT AND THE FIXED CHIP SPREAD A FOOT ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD AND IS RAPIDLY GROWING. SUBARU IS NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP OF WEAK/FAULTY GLASS AND THE FRAME THAT THE WINDSHIELD IS INSTALLED INTO. I HAVE HAD TWO OTHER VEHICLES FOR OVER TEN YEARS THAT NEVER HAD A CRACKED WINDSHIELD, LET ALONE A ROCK CHIP THAT VIOLENTLY SPREADS. I DID NOT PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE TO SPEND $1000+ ON A REPLACEMENT EVERY YEAR.

CONSTANT SMELL WHEN USING WINDSHIELD WIPERS (FRONT) AND WASHING FLUID. HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES THEY ASSURE ME IT IS NORMAL. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR WITH THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A LEAK SOMEWHERE THAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE AND IT MAY BE A DESIGN FLAW.

WHILE HEADING HOME FROM A TRIP DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY 69 IN MICHIGAN OUR WINDSHIELD DECIDED TO START CRACKING. WE DID NOT HEAR ANY IMPACT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE OCCASIONAL BUG. OF COURSE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WAS.A ROCK OR FOREIGN OBJECT HAD IMPACTED THE WINDSHIELD. WRONG. I HAVE ALWAYS FEARED WHEN GETTING HIT BY A ROCK THE WINDSHIELD WOULD CRACK. MY WIFE ACTUALLY WITNESSED THE CRACKING PROCESS THINKING AT FIRST IT WAS RAIN AGAIN HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. WITHIN 200 MILES THE CRACK ESCALATED FROM A COUPLE INCH CRACK TO ALMOST A 2 FOOT CRACK STARTING TO MAKE A U-SHAPE AROUND THE EYE-SIGHT CAMERA SYSTEM. I WOULD HATE TO THINK A BUG'S IMPACT WOULD CAUSE SUCH DAMAGE.
