On 4/19/2015 was driving at 40 miles per hour in a heavy rain storm (I-75) in georgia a crack developed in the windshield. We could not identify a source of impact to the windshield. The crack started at the very bottom center of the windshield. The crack then split into a "y" shape and continued over the next several days. We tried to get a new windshield in sarasota, FL our first destination. Local auto glass company recommended by sarasota Subaru dealer attempted to order one to replace during our week in town. Then called to advise us it would be at least another week. We were informed there was a nationwide back log of over 600 windshields for the 2015 Subaru Outback. On 4/27/2015 contacted the Subaru dealer in silver spring, MD. For possible replacement during our second stop of trip. We were again advised of a back log on that windshield. They suggested to contact the dealer near my home. On 4/27/15 contacted International Subaru of tinley park, IL and all star glass as recommended by dealer. Windshield ordered 4/27/2015 and was advised again of a nationwide back order of 2015 Subaru Outback windshields by glass company and my dealer. As of 5/14/15, no windshield available, check back in another week. Subaru dealer at home thinks it was caused by a small stone. Independent mechanics think there is a pressure point on the vehicle that affected the windshield. If there is not a contributing vehicle problem with the windshield then why the very long back log for a new vehicle windshield? really that many 2015 Subaru Outbacks with windshield problems? and, 3 different dealers in 3 different parts of the country are having difficulty getting the part. When the windshield is finally replaced, will have that area carefully inspected for possible contributing factors.
I was slowing pulling into a parking space and just straightening out the car when I heard a strange sound coming from the engine. Immediately after that I heard a very loud engine revving sound and then suddenly the vehicle shot forward like a rocket, went over the cement barrier and into the wall of a building. It seemed like a very high rate of speed, though the distance was only about 8 feet. The seat belt did not restrain me and my chest slammed into the steering wheel. It was determined later at the hospital that I had a cracked sternum and several broken ribs. I believe there was some sort of mechanical, electrical or software problem that caused this unintended acceleration, and the seat belt also was did not functioning as intended.
Was stopped at a red light this morning and my windshield spontaneously developed an 8 inch crack. No rock or impact. This is the third windshield I will have to have replaced on this car in four months.
After owning car roughly 1. 5 months, front windshield developed a roughly 15 - 20 inch crack starting from top left side starting from the edge, working down and across. Crack appears to have started in the edge heating element. Possible minor rock scrape, but no "pit" or "star. ".
