Defect Description:

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Potential Consequences:

The windshield on my 2018 Impreza car cracked on the lower left drivers side. The crack was unexpected and was not triggered by anything. It arrived out of no where. There is no chip or indentation. Crack is about the length of 2 dollar bills. I feel this is a manufacturing defect and should be paid for by Subaru. This is absolutely faulty craftsmanship and I am extremely disappointed with the durability considering I take excellent care of my vehicle and have had it for less than 1 year! Not to mention, I do not even want to think about the lack of protection this windshield would have provided me if I were ever been in an accident. As a mother, I prefer to drive a vehicle that is safe with my 2 year old daughter in the back seat. I read that there is an ongoing lawsuit with Subaru concerning 2017-2019 vehicles with windshield defects. I am not the only individual experiencing this. Not to mention, this is not an expense I was prepared for and shouldn’t have to be, if Subaru would make a windshield that was not faulty and safe for its consumers! Subaru needs to make this right and be considerate of its consumers.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Potential Consequences:

I have had 3 windshields crack (all in the Winter months) for no reason with this Impreza. On December 4 2021, I turned on the car and while still in park, a 5" crack started growing from the bottom of the front windshield upward. The crack was not there when I started the car and during the day it grew to 8". This repair costs $1000 each time and from what I have read, Subaru is aware that this is not an isolated incident with these windshields. I complain each time that the windshields are defective and that vehicles I have that are 10 years old have not had a windshield crack or be relaced. Even a Subaru employee joked I should trade before getting another cracked windshield this Winter. I should have heeded that advice.

Potential Consequences:

This vehicle was sold to me with the recall not fixed and not disclosed to me. They also did not disclose that this vehicle is a salvage. (They being a dealership). It was sold at salvage/insurance auction with 14, 170 miles. It was then sold at a dealer auction with 14, 171 miles. When it was sold to me the mileage on the duplicate title I was given showed actual mileage of 14,171. The odometer disclosure statement I received indicates mileage of 14, 172. Upon purchasing the vehicle which is financed through Chrysler Capital, I noticed the car while driving on the freeway at 70 mph would pull to the right. Without the multiple details this is a quick summary. This vehicle needs to be off the road and not sold again. I have documentation of all this and more.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Potential Consequences:

IN 2019, I EXPERIENCED 2 INCIDENTS RELATED TO THE GLASS IN THIS VEHICLE. IN THE FIRST INCIDENT, I NOTICED A CHIP IN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS WAS PATCHED BY A GLASS REPAIR SERVICE. IN THE 2ND INCIDENT, I NOTICED A CHIP IN THE GLASS OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. THIS REQUIRED REPLACING THE ENTIRE GLASS PANE, ALSO DONE BY A GLASS REPAIR SERVICE. IN BOTH OF THESE INSTANCES, THERE WAS NOT A DEFINITE EVENT I COULD IDENTIFY AS THE CAUSE OF THE DAMAGE.
