| Problem Category | Number of Problems |

| Sun Roof problems | |
| Windshield problems |
Shortly after buying the vehicle sunroof shattered. The sunroof was open and loudly cracked as if in an explosion. Took vehicle to Subaru dealership and they insisted a rock must have struck vehicle. After insisting this was not so owner agreed to pay for replacement. Currently, a year and a half later this happened again without any foreign object striking the sunroof, and no evidence of any kind. The second time this happened without notice and was closed when the crack was discovered. Vehicle currently awaiting repairs. Consumer felt this sun roof was defective with some sort of undue stress.
Windshield has a crack that starts on the passenger edge midway up the windshield and goes in toward the center toward the rearview mirror. Normally I would just think this was due to a rock chip, however I have seen multiple vehicles (same year/model) with the exact same crack.
