1 Side/rear Glass problem of the 2004 Subaru Impreza

Failure Date: 12/18/2007

The windshield of my Subaru Impreza ts cracked the whole length. I was driving and all of a sudden it cracked. It was cold out and I didn't notice anything wrong with it before. After the crack I looked closer and noticed a lot of bubbles in the glass. I have also noticed that a lot of Subarus around the same year have been cracked. I have asked a couple of the owners and they said the same thing happened to them. The windshield just cracked.

2 Side/rear Glass problem of the 2005 Subaru Impreza

Failure Date: 08/08/2005

It was a 95â°f day ,using my air conditioner and after pulling into my garage at home my driver's side rear window had an explosive failure causing glass to fly into and out of the car. The Subaru is a month old and had not had prior impacts to the window glass. I believe that improper tempering and improper window design/installation didn't allow for thermal expansion / contraction and led to the failure.

3 Side/rear Glass problem of the 2005 Subaru Impreza

Failure Date: 03/18/2005

Hi, my wife has a new Subaru Impreza wrx (4000 miles). A few days ago while she was driving it, the driver?s side window completely shattered. Hers was the only car on the road at the time, and no vehicles had recently come by to kick up a stone. Subaru assumes something external shattered the window, so that we have to pay for the repair (about $500, which is our insurance deductible), but we?re wondering whether a structural defect could have caused the problem. I was wondering whether you had ever heard of a structural problem like this in general, and for Subarus in particular. Thank you.
