The driver side visor failed to remain in position. After hitting a small bump the visor flipped down from it's position against the roof to a completely vertical position blocking my view of the road. I am only 5 foot 7 inches, but when the visor is completely down my vision is completely blocked. The visor would no longer remain up against the roof, nor fully forward against the windshield. I had to pull over and remove the screws holding the visor mount to the roof. When I did this the shaft that connects the visor to the roof mount came out of the visor. The plastic portion had broken completely inside the visor. The force holding the visor in the up position had been getting progressively weaker for more than a year before it failed completely. Searching the web it appears this is a common complaint. Without a visor it is now definitely more hazardous to drive into the sun, I keep a baseball cap in the car for these situations while I attempt to find an inexpensive replacement. My dealer wants to charge me $140 for a replacement visor.

Ever since I purchased my vehicle (new), there has been a terrible film on the windshield and interior windows. Sometimes it is so bad, it is almost impossible to see out of the windows (especially with light reflections and sunsets, etc. ). My dealer has informed me that it has had many similar complaints. I have tried cleaning the windows with cleaners and nothing seems to help. The problem is even worse during the winter months when the defroster is being used more often. To date, my dealer (as well as a different one) has been unable to find a solution to the problem. This is a serious safety issue that limits visibility from the vehicle.

My 2008 Subaru Impreza has developed a film on the inside of the windshield which causes a very unsafe situation. I am unable to see at night or with on coming cars with lights on.

A hazy film continually builds up on the front windshield causing reduced visibility.

Film build up on inside windshield impedes driver's view. Explanation given, this is a result of an ozone effect combined with fumes and vapors of new car products and materials. No specific time frame for resolution but only that it should lessen as car is driven for an indefinite period of time. Solution given was to allow outside air circulation and continue to clean inside windshield frequently. Is there a health hazard by inhalation of occupants? visibility is affected regardless of time of day.

Film on windshield. Brought in car 6 times for the same problem. They washed it, put it in a paint booth 3 times to "cure" the plastic , and last wee they replaced the cabin air filter. The film is still there it may go away for a day or 2 then it comes back. The film is most noticeable at night when oncoming car light hit it and as the sun is setting it is difficult to see through it. This has been going on since the beginning of December , we bought the car at the end of October and do not drive it all the time.

I cannot keep the windshield on my new 2008 Impreza fog free. The dealer noticed a "film" on it and cleaned it. The fogging returned after a day. I've used anitifogging solution that lasts about 3 days and the "film" and fogging returns. This can be very dangerous after dark since when the fogging is most pronounced. There must be something inside the car (possibly a silicone spray) that's causing this. Whatever it is, it hinders the drivers vision and is dangerous.

I bought a 2006 Subaru wrx only two months ago. On a trip last month (car was only a month old at the time) I had some small debris hit my windshield, nothing really out of the ordinary, especially here in colorado. But, the next morning when I went out to the car, I had a crack that ran across more than half of my windshield. Considering I have had three other cars while living in colorado, I have had only one cracked windshield and that was due to a truck kicking up a rock into the windshield. Also, I am finding many complaints and similar cracks in other wrx's and wrx owners. I feel as if the windshields on a wrx are either weak or need to be thicker.
