A large crack suddenly appeared on the windshield of my 2020 Ascent, and expanded rapidly over the course of a few hours. I purchased the vehicle new in January 2020. Subaru will not cover the windshield under warranty. The cost to replace the windshield and re-calibrate the eyesight sensors is over $1,000 through safelite. I'm concerned that having an outside company re-calibrate the sensors will void the warranty, and the dealership could not provide any clarification. My dealership cannot replace the windshield (as they've indicated this must be done by a third party), and cannot re-calibrate the sensors for over a week. There is no reason for my windshield to have such a large crack, as there are no chips visible and I do not recall anything striking my windshield recently.

The hood of the car popped up twice when driving into a head wind on the highway. It suddenly pops up an inch or two as if it is about to open. This happened on our first trip on the interstate. I took it in - the dealer could find nothing wrong - and adjusted the bumpers. The next trip driving 65 into a cross wind it popped up again. We had to stop both times to close the hood and were relieved it did not come all the way up. I wonder if the latch is not sufficient for the design to handle a strong wind. The consumer requested to withdraw complaint stating that the latch did not come undone. The hood of the vehicle flexed up afetr being blown by strong wind.
