Drove the vehicle in the morning (heat on high). Parked it in a private lot for about 5 hrs. There was light snow/ice that day. I got out to drive and see a huge crack on the windshield spanning from the passenger side through to the center of the windshield. There were previously no discernable nicks on the windshield. Contacted Subaru, all Forester windshields are backordered. Some on the Forester forums have waited over a month for their windshield. Mine will supposedly take at least 3 weeks. Not acceptable to be driving with a defective and already cracked windshield. Subaru is aware of their windshield issue but there is no recall as of yet.

Rear gate door would not open whether using keyless fob, rear gate door button or dash button. Had to have car battery disconnected for a short period of time and then reconnected it to get the rear gate door to work.
