Blind Spot Detection problems of the 2021 Subaru Forester

**component malfunction**: the windshield developed cracks shortly after purchase, which expanded without impact, affecting visibility and causing the safety eyesight system to malfunction. **safety risk**: the expanding crack impaired vision and led to safety system malfunctions, posing a risk to driver and passenger safety. **problem reproduction**: it is unclear if the issue has been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or service center. **inspection status**: the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. **warning signs**: there were no warning lamps or messages prior to the failure; the issue appeared in the first week after purchase.

I’ve owned the vehicle under a year and am already on my second window replacement. I drive the same route everyday and ever experienced windows cracking in any other vehicle before this vehicle.

The first incident occurred when I drove into a parking space, applied the brakes, and the car suddenly sped forward, so I had to repeatedly jam on the brakes to make the car stop. Fortunately, no person or vehicle was directly in front of me. In the past week, we have experienced problems with the adas. We were backing into a parking space at night and made contact with a parked car. Our car made no warning sounds or lights to warn us. The following day, the blind spot detector light went on and off intermittently, sometimes with an exclamation point, and sometimes without an exclamation point. The lights on the mirror did not come on when cars were approaching from behind. We are making an appointment with the dealer ASAP.

My Forester needed new tires at 13,250 miles. I had my tires rotated and that is when Subaru noticed the worn tires. I called Subaru corporate and they informed me that do not replace tires. I bought new tires and then went to have a wheel alignment. The technician told me he could do the alignment but he couldn't adjust the lane assist diagnostic or the vdc and other safety features. Now I am unsure what to do. I have tried to resolve this with Subaru of America without resolution. Hopefully, you will be able to help me. Why are Subaru dealers not doing these adjustments? thanks for your help with this serious situation. Bobette turner.
