What owners wrote
Purchased this car brand new about a month ago. A large fracture crack appeared in the middle my windshield, originating from the base underneath the plastic stripping, extending upward in an inverted l shape. Happened for no apparent reason; the car was stationary, parked inside my closed garage, so there was no reason or cause for a crack to occur. Apparently subaru is aware of their windshield defects as they recently lost a lawsuit case over this issue for their outback models.
The contact owns a 2018 Subaru Impreza. The contact stated that upon entering the vehicle, he noticed that a vertical crack had formed on the bottom passenger’s side windshield. The crack quickly extended approximately 30 inches. The contact stated that the crack obstructed his vision while driving at various speeds. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.
