Crack about seven inches long appeared in bottom center of front windshield. Nothing hit the windshield as far as i know. Crack runs from bottom of windshield in an upwards direction.

The contact owns a 2021 subaru crosstrek. The contact stated upon entering the vehicle, he noticed that the windshield had cracked on the passenger side. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer or independent mechanic to have it diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 5,700.

Bought the car brand new 6 months ago and the windshield crack all of a sudden

Shuddering - cvt belt or pulley not working properly? Jerking, hesitation - crosstrek will not go when the gas pedal is pressed or hesitates or pauses for a moment after the gas pedal is engaged

My windshield all of the sudden got a massive crack. I don’t remember a rock ever hitting it. It has been growing rapidly and i worry it is effecting my drivers assist system. I did some research and learned this was a common problem for subarus and worry my windshield is defective due to weakness as evidenced by how quickly the crack is growing. I bought my car brand new 6 months ago.

My vehicle is equipped with eyesight, which is a subaru technology that includes adaptive cruise control, forward collison warning/breaking, lane departure warning, rear automatic braking, etc. Subaru claims that windshield replacements must use subaru glass due the optical clarity of the windshield and that the eyesight system must be recalibrated. This is a $1339 cost (via safelight) to replace the windsheild. I have 8400 miles on my vehicle, and i am getting ready to have the second windshield put on the car. The glass simply breaks to easily. First incident, a rock hit the windshield and it cracked about inches while traveling through albuquerque, nm on i-25. Second incident happened today on i-25 with a barely perceptible sound, and the windshield has a crack about 6.6 inches long. I am not sure what the issue is with subaru windshields, but looking in owner forums, it's a pretty common occurrence. The fact that i am averaging a new windshield every 4200 miles is ridiculous. I have been driving for 35+ years and have had to replace a windshield less than three times. With the subaru, i am doing it almost every 4-5 months (so far).

The lane keeping feature will randomly cause the vehicle to veer towards the center line at a variety of speeds and under a variety of conditions, requiring immediate driver correction to avoid crossing the center line. No accident has occurred but the system is now deactivated. In addition, the collision avoidance system does not reliably acquire a vehicle ahead if that vehicle is stopped and the speed differential is >30-40 mph. Without driver manual braking, a crash would occur.
