Windshield cracked for no reason while driving. Nothing hit the windshield. Car was slowly turning with no other car in front of it. There was a loud pop sound and the windshield was cracked on the driver side. Called dealership, and they said a self cracking windshield is not covered under warranty. Only 18,000 miles on the car. Will have to go through insurance until this is finally a recall.

This is the 2nd time my windshield cracked for no apparent reason

My windshield cracked without incident on 6/12/2021 and as it sat throughout the weekend the crack continued. I was able to have the windshield repaired through the dealer as a 'courtesy'. But given what i found online about this issue with subaru vehicles i felt compelled to log this complaint.

1. The infotainment system crashed (happens often), which caused the touchscreen in the center control stack to turn black and become unresponsive. This also caused the eyesight safety system, adaptive cruise control (with lane keep assist), and reverse auto braking to all shut down (my dashboard lit up with warning lights and errors). 2. Not only is this an annoyance, but having all of the safety systems in my car unexpectedly shut down is extremely unsafe, especially adaptive cruise control. Other functions of my car, such as the radio and climate controls are also inaccessible when this happens. 3. A subaru dealer has replaced the touchscreen in my vehicle to try and remedy the slowness and crashing, but it did not seem to fix anything. My car safety systems have not shut down prior to this incident, but on this day (june 6th), they did when the system crashed, which was after the replacement. After waiting weeks to get a replacement which didn't fix anything, i felt as if i needed to go elsewhere for help with this issue. 4. Only the manufacturer has inspected this issue, and i've also emailed subaru directly after this incident, as to which i have not gotten a response yet (emailed on monday, june 7th). 5. The warning lamps (for eyesight, reverse auto breaking, and adaptive cruise control) all appeared on my dashboard as soon as the infotainment system crashed on june 6th. Prior to this, my vehicle had no warning lamps. They went away a few minutes after the system rebooted (all while i was driving on the highway), and system functionality returned to normal. Other notes: this vehicle only has about 15k miles on it, and is only 1 year and 3 months old. Issues like this should not be happening. Before the replacement of the touchscreen, i had issues with it being extremely laggy and crashing, but my car's safety systems never shut down before. This is a new issue, which prompted me to report it to nhtsa.

Cracked windshield with no known impact. Parked car at work around 10:50am came out for lunch at around 2:00pm. Windshield is cracked with no noticeable impact location. Crack starts at edge/top of windshield straight line down then branches off bilaterally.

Battery drain

Windshield randomly cracked with unknown reason. Vehicle was parked in garage.

April 29, 2021 i went to drive my car and found my windshield cracked. I didn't hear anything hit the windshield the night before, but there was a 4 inch crack in the windshield when i went to drive to work. It continued to crack until i could get it replaced which ended up being about 10-12 inches a week later when i could finally get it replaced.

Driving home when i notice what i thought was a big hit the window. Slowed to the light and i notice it was actually a small round crack in my glass so i pull in the walgreens lot to see what could of happen. By the time i parked and opened my door i saw the crack had made its way all the way down my window, so i left the door open to see if i could feel the crack but nothing. I get back in lightly closing my door to head 2more miles to my home and the crack made it's way up half way then across half way. My heart literally melted. Why is this happening. The weather was 70 and there was no impact or trees or any speeding cars to have caused this. Makes no sense.
