The recall repair was previously performed but the safety defect persists. Manufacturer was contacted and declined further repair despite active safety condition.

The Drivers side mirror (LEFT) When sitting still is distorted and wavy if you look around in the mirror. It makes the earth bend or any objects in the mirror bend, the best way to put it when driving or sitting still it looks like a funhouse mirror. And once at about 40 MPH the Same mirror also vibrates while driving. The retailer I choose has replaced the mirror glass twice and the mirror housing once, it had done nothing to fix it.

I was de-frosting my windshield early in the morning when I watched a crack start at the base of the driver's side windshield and travel up the window and back down to the base of the windshield. The car was not moving, there was no impact to the windshield at all. I contacted the Subaru dealer and brought the car in to be inspected. They told me that the crack was because of a rock chip although there was never any rock chip impact and the car was not even moving when the crack developed. There was a previous...

Got in the car to drive to work and the front windshield just cracked on its own with nothing hitting it.

Windshield cracked to the point of requiring repair from pinhead size chip that barely left a mark. The windshield is being replaced but photos are available upon request. The crack quickly spread to the outer edge of the windshield, causing further risk to the structural integrity of the entire windshield. The problem was confirmed by a glass shop as requiring a replacement.

Sitting at a stoplight, a loud pop occurs and when I look back, there is a hole in the middle of the rear windshield. It is approximately 2 inches tall and at least 18 inches wide. It was likely an implosion. No objects were found near, on, or in the car. The windshield crumbled after that, as each acceleration dropped more glass inside the car. Nothing prompted it, just sitting stationary at a stoplight. Defroster was not on, temperature was approximately 45 fahrenheit with minimal wind. Had been driving for 10 minutes. My rear facing car seat, with child in it, collected a fair amount of the glass.

I went to start my car and discovered that my windshield cracked directly in the middle of the windshield, there isn't a chip or anything indicating that something hit the windshield. It was a u shaped crack directly in the middle. I have no recollection of anything ever hitting against the windshield, it seems to have just cracked on its own. Car was parked in a driveway prior to the crack appearing.

Woke up one day to my windshield having a smaller crack that was not there before. Was a cold night crack has spread, asked subaru if they would cover the cost they didn't but its a known defect in subaru

Windshield chipped/cracked while driving on a highway.

Windshield cracked for no apparent reason. Car was stationary.

The vehicle was in motion on a highway when the wind shield cracked along the most superior border of the windshield. There was nothing visible or audible that had caused the windshield to crack during my 10 minute commute. There was also little to no traffic. The crack was large enough that I had to replace the windshield. I am only reporting this now because I suspect the windshield cracked secondary to being one of the defective windshield's that subaru is under scrutiny for. Unfortunately, I no longer have pictures of the cracked windshield; however, I have attached my receipt from safelite autoglass.

I parked my car in the driveway after work without a cracked windshield. I went to go to work in the morning with a cracked windshield. No impact marks.... It is as if my windshield spontaneously cracked while parked in 50 degree weather. What if something actually hits my windshield??? Am I safe??? How often do I get to replace this defective design??? *Tr

Small glass chip defect occurred in the center of the passenger side windshield. This occurred while the vehicle was stationary and sitting in a parking lot. This vehicle was isolated in the parking lot and did not have any other vehicles near it. It is unknown whether the windshield temper or composition may be defective and easily propogated a defect on the way to the parking lot. The way the windshield chipped/developed the small crack would have had to occur with ease because the vehicle was brand new (350...
