Carrier/rack Problems of Subaru Outback - part 1

Our Subaru 2019 Outback suffered a crack during normal usage on the interstate at approx. 50 mph. The crack occurred two days ago (on 5/2/2021) and has since grown due to the vehicle's vibration during use. The vehicle qualifies as a make and model under recall by Subaru for windshield defects.

I have a 2020 Subaru Outback. The windshields keep breaking. I just had the third (3rd) windshield installed in this 2020 vehicle and it was cracked before it was two weeks old. The last windshield I had was spider webs of cracks - I drove it like that for months waiting on Subaru to fix the glass issue. It is not fixed. I have driven cars in this area for two decades and I have never seen anything like this. There is something wrong with the new Subaru windshields. Small debris will hit the car on hwy/interstate that would not usually crack glass and it cracks. It chips very easy and then cracks to a length that is not able to be repaired. I think some of the cracks just appear. Bizarre. A family member has 2021 ascent and just had to replace her windshield also.

The windshield cracked on its own. No impact. Research says there is a class action lawsuit for this defect. Vehicle stationary.

Went to get in my car parked in my driveway for the first time this week where it was parked in my driveway, hadn't been driven since Sunday the 11th and the windshield was cracked from the bottom middle and up a significant way before it split into a wide �y� shape.

My windshield seems to crack/chip unreasonably easy. The first crack was a few weeks ago. I didn't see anything hit it. It jsut started crack. This morning, I got another chip and it's now spreading also. I now have two cracks in my windshield and numerous chips!.

Spontaneous crack in my windshield. No impact every noticed. I noticed when I was driving at dusk and used my windshield wipers to clear rain. I saw a glisten at the bottom and was surprised to see a crack.

The windshield has developed a crack starting at the very bottom below the plastic edge, with not apparent impact site.

The glass windshield is defective. This is the second I have had to replace in a year. I came out to move my car and noticed a crack across the windshield. I park in a private driveway and no cars were around it.

My car windshield all of sudden started cracking 2 weeks ago around February 17th. 2021. My car always parked on my driveway. Called local dealer was told it's going to cost us $1200 to get it replaced.

My windshield spontaneously cracked overnight while it was parked in the driveway. One morning as I was getting in the vehicle and I noticed a crack had appeared in the windshield originating from the bottom of the glass on the passenger side and extending up and to the center about a foot.

I was just driving on the interstate and the windshield started cracking on it's own. There was no damage at all prior to the event. No debris hit the windshield it just started cracking and the crack rapidly grew over the next several minutes to a size of 10 inches.

Poor battery life has always been a problem. Windshield crack showed up suddenly very recently, right after we got a class action lawsuit notification. The car has very low milage.

Windshield cracked for no reason as it was sitting in the garage.

Windshield spontaneously cracked in a safe location (driveway).

The windshield cracked in the garage while it was stationary. Nothing physically damaged the windshield and it cracked on its own. This happened twice on my 2017 Subaru Outback as well. I see that there is a class action lawsuit in place and I would like to get added as this is the third time this has happened.

Battery totally dead upon entering and attempting to start. Windscreen commenced to crack while traveling.

I/we were driving west on river drive, in davenport iowa, and the windshield cracked on the drivers side. Later in the trip it cracked on the passenger's side. Nothing has ever hit the windshield to cause it to crack. I believe this is due to a defective windshield.

Bought the vehicle brand new and woke up the next day to it not starting. The car was sold to us with a bad battery and missing parts according to the dealership. Almost exactly a year later our transmission blew for no apparent reason while getting off the highway and completely stopped running. Now the vehicle has a cracked windshield when no rocks or anything has hit it.

It is not about an accident. I discovered a crack on the side of the rear right tire. It seems to be a defective tire since I didn't drove on any obstacle. It looks like there is a potential for blow, loosing control of vehicle, accident, injury, or deadly accident.

Windshield spontaneously cracked for no apparent reason. No impact, just cracked as I was driving out of my neighborhood (about 10mph).

Windshield had a crack, that I thought was weird as I didn't hear a rock, but a crack. I saw that 2020 Subaru Outbacks had a lawsuit for defect. I found out weeks after I made an insurance claim to have my windshield fixed. I was driving on a highway when this happened.

Cracked windshield while driving on interstate. I did not see or hear the windshield being hit by rock, etc. Upon inspection it appears to have been hit by a small rock.

Bought the vehicle and basically parked the car in my garage a/o 23 Nov 2020. I travel for work most of the time. Between 3 - 7 Dec, the car was used by my ex-husband for two trips to the airport to pick me up/drop off from/for a business trip and for me to drop off the title of my old car. On 21 Dec, after being parked in the garage for three weeks (since 7 Dec), my ex-husband noticed in the garage as he was getting in the car to head to the airport to pick me up from my 3-week business trip, saw a 1 1/2 foot long crack in the windshield originating by the windshield perimeter frame (passenger side).

Windshield crack that started from the bottom edge of windshield. I literally woke up to a crack that developed overnight after a regular cold night in reno nv. The crack continued growing since then. I have never own a vehicle that has cracked its windshield just because it is a cold night. Vehicle was parked overnight when crack developed.

We developed two spontaneous cracks in our windshield. The vehicle was stationary, parked in our garage. No debris hit the windshield at any time. The cracks begin under/at the driver side near/under the wiper unit. (the cracks essentially form a wide "v" one crack toward the passenger side is quite long and growing, the other is short - about 3" now also growing). The location of the beginning of the crack/s is under the level of the hood of the car, which would also make it near impossible for the crack to be due to a pebble, gravel, etc.

I was driving on the freeway and my windshield cracked at the passenger side bottom as the crack traveled up the windshield. I did not notice anything hit it.

I believe that the windshield cracked spontaneously. I drove to get coffee this morning. In the parking lot I noticed a 10 inch crack in the windshield that hadn't been there before. To my knowledge nothing has hit the windshield. The crack wasn't there yesterday. There was snow in the car this morning. I'm wondering if turning the interior heater had anything fun do with it. It's currently 32 degrees outside. There isn't a mark in the windshield except for the catch which seems to originate at the base of the windshield. There isn't a rock mark or anything else. I've only had this car for a a couple of months.

I was picking my son up from school when the crack started, as I sat in the parking lot it continued down and across the center of the windshield. There were no chips or dings to be found. I do believe it causes the forward crash indicator to trip sooner than it should.
