What owners wrote
While driving on the highway in the right lane at the speed limit of 65 MPH, the right rear window spontaneously shattered with no warning, no external impact, no other vehicles near by, and without prior impact to window.
Windshield cracked halfway across just sitting in the garage. Subaru would not cover it under warranty even though the vehicle was only a little over a year old. Will not buy another subaru.
