1 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2016

Replacing the windshield 3 times already in a 2 year period. No chips are created from small interactions with object like little stones but immediate cracks. The vehicle was in stationary and moving positions on a street and higway. Makes me wonder what is going to happen if there would be more serious collision than just a small rock.

2 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 01/17/2016

Windshield cracks from edges. No noticeable chips. Crack started with rock hits. Possible defective glass.

3 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 06/21/2015

Within a month of buying a brand new Subaru Legacy 2015, my windshield spontaneous cracked while driving on an open-air interstate away from other cars. At first I thought maybe a pebble hit the windshield, but upon later inspection I could not find a distinct starting point for the crack in the windshield crack (no dents or places where something might have hit my car). The crack initiated from the very bottom of the middle of the windshield and extended about 6-8 inches from the bottom of the windshield.
