My windshield cracked overnight, in my driveway, with no possibility of a person or animal being the cause. The nearest neighbor is 2 miles away. Subaru warranty denied my claim and said they saw a rock chip in the pics. The glass repair shop that submitted the claim said their was no sign of force (rock) to the windshield being the cause of the crack.

Windshield Glass Cracked.

There have been three cracks in the front windshield in 18 months with little to no provocation. These have required replacement of the front windshield and re-calibration of eyesight. With each crack, there was little to no cause. On one occasion, there was a tiny piece of gravel that resulted in a crack that extended across 50% of the front windshield. My concern is for my personal safety should the windshield crack and cause harm to me as the driver or impair my visibility while driving which increases my risk for an accident. There-€™s also the concern about cost and time spent with repeated replacements. The date of incident below is the date of the third crack

The car was parked and idling for a few minutes as a passenger exited the vehicle. While parked, the car began to shake slightly, it was then placed in reverse to get out of the parking space. Still shaking. When it was put in gear to go forward, the car began to accelerate on its own. The driver was able to use the brake to stop the vehicle but, when she took her foot off the brake to make a left turn and towards the park exit, the vehicle accelerated abruptly, and the car surged towards a main road. The passenger in the seat next to her was able to see clearly that the driver-€™s foot was not on the gas pedal. The driver was able to steer the vehicle clear of the park visitors, avoid other vehicles in the parking lot, and stop the car prior to reaching the traffic light at the main road. Stunned by the incident, the driver decided to return the vehicle to the parking lot, so she opted to make a U-turn at the light. As she turned the vehicle, the vehicle accelerated once again without her foot on the gas pedal. After the driver was able to maneuver the car into a parking space, the vehicle started to shake violently, and the driver shut off the engine. When the driver attempted to restart the car with the intent to drive home slowly, the driver placed the vehicle in reverse, and applied her foot to the gas pedal but, the vehicle would barely move. The engine revved when the pedal was pushed all the way to the floorboard but, the vehicle only moved at approximately 5MPH. Once parked in a space, the vehicle shook violently, and the dashboard lights lit up. The vehicle was turned off and emergency call button inside the vehicle was used to contact Subaru. The car was towed to the dealership.

Windshield - The front windshield cracked all by itself. This is the 2nd time the front windshield cracked. I got the 1st driver side crack repaired as it was relatively small (dime size). The 2nd time the crack was on the passenger side. This cracked is in the middle of the window and is approximately 17 inches long and starts at the edge. The crack happened when I was driving.

10/2021: The vehicle completely shut-off at the beginning of a turnabout in front of the fire department. Per nearby pedestrians, automobile owners, employees of the fire department and AAA driver, the start/stop battery or alternator malfunctioned. The vehicle only had 51k miles. This was a new vehicle purchase in 2019. The safety of my toddler and I were at risk as soon as we entered the beginning of a turnabout. I had reported several safety issues from tires, brakes, burning feelings on my skin, my jaw locking up and seatbelt malfunctioning for nearly 1.5 years. Each time I was told they could not replicate the issue. occurred. Problems occurred at the 1st oil change at 5-6k miles. When the car completey shut-off I tried turning the car on and all the dashboard lights came on and I was able to roll my toddlers window down. The car shut off again and when I turned the ignition on the wheel became stuck along with the ignition. I turned the emergency/Caution lights on and thought that would provide us safety from other cars colliding into us. I noticed cars would wait directly behind me and then honk their horn if I did not drive-off. Nearby pedestrians walked by and mentioned the emergency/caution lights were not flashing. I told them to look at my dashboard because they are flashing. The nearby dealership inspected the car and determined the start/stop battery was bad. The corporate office decided to pay for the labor, parts and car rental fees -as a goodwill gesture. 2/2022: 3-4 months has gone by and now there is an acidic feeling on the driver's side stemming from the front and back and even the wheel - when the car is turned on and it lingers when you turn the car off. I even placed a lime and orange I the car for an acidity test as expected it both reacted to the acidity from the car. Makes it hard to talk in the car, vision gets blurry and its almost like you have COVID-19 symptoms but you don't really have it.

Frequent battery dying problem in 2020 Subaru Forester from Grayson Subaru, Knoxville, TN I am a 67 year old woman who does much scientific research in remote places alone at night. During the day, I manage 3 farms 100 miles apart. I am constantly opening and closing gates, getting out briefly to check livestock and fix fences. If my keys are left in the ignition even briefly, as I get in an out for small tasks, the car battery is dead. Other times it is simply dead for no reason at all. In my over 50 years of driving all sorts of cars and trucks, I have never had this problem. I have had constant problems with this car battery dying in as little as 5 minutes after driving 50 miles. I have brought this problem to Grayson Subaru-€™s attention and spent hours waiting as they checked for problems. They never find anything. I have made numerous calls. They assure me this is -€œnormal-€. This is NOT normal. Not in my over 50 years of driving cars. I am forced to carry a car booster with me at all times. This is a TERRIBLE situation for a car which typically is owned by people who often camp, are doing sports in remote places or need a small rugged car for farm work or field research or outdoor activities. Here are just a few times I have contacted Grayson Subaru over this problem. I have had dead battery many more times than this (just in past 2 weeks Jan 5, 10 and 14, 2022), but have had to jump it off because I was in a dangerous. I bought the car in Sept 2021 from Grayson as a new car: Calls and visits to Grayson over the battery problem. Jan 22, 2021; August 11, 2021; Aug 23, 2021; Aug 24, 2021; Oct 5, 2021; Nov 17, 2021; Jan 11, 2022. I do not want to invoke the Tennessee Lemon Law (T.C.A. 55-24-101 to T.C.A. 55-24-112), but I also cannot continue to drive such an unreliable car. I see there is a -€œbattery drain" lawsuit for 2020 Subaru Foresters. I believe this car has the same problem. What do I do?

The Windshield glass on my 2020 Subaru Forester Sport keep cracking, this is will be the second time that I will have to replace the glass within 6 months. I walked to my parked car then noticed that I had a crack that was not previously there. The glass keeps breaking incredibly easy and the replacement cost is extremely expensive! Not to mention, I've had a side window break without cause and I have video proof of the back window breaking without explanation.

UNKNOWN I-€™m a cautious driver. Really. My Forester windshield has a crack that appeared with little/no preceding incident. Frustrating. Scary. My driver-€™s manual tells me to get the windshield replaced ASAP.

The Subaru windshield on our 2020 Forester developed two large cracks, discovered in the morning of October 4, 2021, after the car was parked at a hotel overnight. There were no observed impacts from stones or anything else the day before. The EyeSight safety system has not been working since then, and it appears that it is unsafe to drive the vehicle. The insurance company and the dealer have been notified. The dealer inspected the vehicle but has told us there are no windshields available for replacement anywhere in the US. There were no warning signs prior to the cracks developing.

My 2020 Subaru Forester has less than 12,000 miles at the time of this complaint, but I am waiting on my fourth (4th) windshield for replacement. I have already paid the dealership, but no windshields have been received in over 2 months. My last windshield replacement was the last windshield that the dealership received. The windshields seem extremely thin and sometimes no rock ding occurred but the windshield was discovered shattered in my garage. My current windshield encountered a small piece of road debris and the windshield completely shattered and glass fragments were on my dashboard. If anything contacts my current windshield I fear it will completely disintegrate and my vehicle will be left with no windshield. My car is still under full warranty and I have met with dealership staff regarding the windshields, any recalls, my safety concerns, and no one has done anything except left me pay for a windshield that they have no idea when or it it may arrive. One part department staff member (Ryan), stated that even if they receive the Forester windshields, they may not arrive intact since they shatter and break during transport. This is EXTREMELY concerning and it OBVIOUSLY a safety issue with these vehicles. If I had been aware of this issue I would have purchased another brans and make of vehicle in October 2019.
