36 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 08/28/2019

I've owned my 2019 Subaru Legacy for exactly one month. Yesterday, while driving on route 13 in delaware, I saw a crack spread from the outside right side of the windshield on the passenger side of the card and spread for about 15 inches sort of in the shape of an "s". Neither myself nor the passenger sitting in the front seat heard anything hit the car nor did we see anything. I took the car to the Subaru dealership this morning and I was told that something very tiny hit the windshield. How could something that tiny cause that kind of damage? I am still unable to see the impact. The Subaru windshields must be paper thin. I was informed by the service clerk that there was nothing that Subaru could do to help. I am extremely disappointed in their response.

43 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 04/23/2019

I have bought my care on 04/08/2019 and since then the windshield is broken two times on the highway . The first time just two weeks after purchasing when commuting from work to home on highway 99 I felt a small rock hit the windshield which crack started to grow after 10-15 minutes and grew to the size of four times greater than dollar bill when was replaced. The second time I didn't even felt anything but when I got home after a long drive I realized a crack which grew fast. I feel like the quality of windshield is so low that even with a small rock it starts cracking . At least it should stay like a chip in the beginning.

49 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 11/04/2018

My car is 2 weeks old. I used the defroster on Saturday night and on Sunday morning there was a crack on my windshield from the bottom center. Up and to the passenger's side. I do not hear a stone hit my windshield while driving. Subaru said it was a stone and is charging me over $700. 00 to replace it. I have been driving for many years and have never gotten a crack like this. I believe it is a faulty windshield that cracked with the change in temperature.
