2019 Subaru Outback complaints

MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE RIGHT REAR STABILIZER BRACKET OUTSIDE WELD. THE WELD IS IMPROPERLY PLACED AND DOES NOT ACTUALLY ATTACH PART OF THE BRACKET TO THE SUBFRAME. (NOTE, THE WELD ON THE LEFT REAR STABILIZER BRACKET IS PROPERLY PLACED AND DOES ATTACH THE BRACKET TO THE SUBFRAME.) IT'S CLEAR THAT THE BRACKET OR WELD WERE OUT OF POSITION BECAUSE THE WELD BEAD HAS NO PENETRATION ON THE STABILIZER BAR BRACKET. THE LACK OF WELD ON THIS SIDE OF THE BRACKET WILL PLACE THE BRACKET UNDER A TORSIONAL LOAD THEREBY PLACING GREATER STRESS ON THE WELD ON THE INSIDE TAB OF THE BRACKET. FAIILURE OF THIS BRACKET COULD LEAD TO REDUCE VEHICLE STABILITY. CHANCES ARE IF MY VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED LIKE THIS THEN OTHER VEHICLES WERE ALSO PRODUCED LIKE THIS. IT'S NOT SOMETHING WHICH YOU WOULD NORMALLY NOTICE BECAUSE THIS ISN'T A ROUTINE INSPECTION ITEM.

SINCE PURCHASING CAR NEW IN 08/19, I HAVE BEEN STRANDED WITH A DEAD BATTERY 10 TIMES IN 12,000 MILES. THIS IS DUE TO 4 THINGS: 1. A POORLY DESIGNED KEY FOB WITH A HYPERSENSITIVE BUTTON THAT OPENS THE HATCH UNINTENTIONALLY WHICH KILLS BATTERY; 2. COMPUTER MODULES THAT REMAIN FULLY 'ON', DRAWING AT LEAST 3.6 AMPS (MUCH MORE IF INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE ON) WHEN HATCH IS OPEN AND/OR DOOR IS OPEN OR AJAR WITHOUT MITIGATION FROM A TIMER AS LONG AS KEY FOB IS DETECTED. SO IF I OPEN HATCH FOR DAY USE ACTIVITY, THE THE BATTERY DIES UNLESS I FIND A WAY TO DEACTIVATE THE FOB. IF THE UNINTENTIONALLY BUMP THE HATCH BUTTON WHILE CAR IS IN SECURE GARAGE, HATCH IS OPEN AND BATTERY IS DEAD NEXT MORNING; 3. AFTER AN UNINTENDED HATCH OPENING RESULTING IN A DEAD BATTERY, MANUALLY CLOSING THE HATCH, JUMPING THE BATTERY, AND DRIVING RESULTS IN A LOUD, CONTINUOUS ALARM WITH NO DASH LIGHT IDENTIFICATION IN THE CAR FOR ONE MINUTE OR UNTIL CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, THEN ALARM RESUMES CAUSING GREAT ANXIETY AND DISTRACTION! ; AND 4. THESE PROBLEMS AND WHAT YOU MUST DO TO COMBAT THEM ARE NOT REVEALED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL NOR IN THE SALES AND PURCHASE PROCESS WHICH I FIND VERY DECEPTIVE! DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS EITHER NOT INFORMED OR NOT FORTHCOMING UNTIL BACKED INTO A CORNER BY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. SUBARU OF AMERICA HAS BEEN CONTACTED BUT WILL NOT RESPOND. THEY CLAIM 'OPERATOR ERROR'. I CLAIM DESIGN DEFECT. I HAVE TO CARRY MY OWN JUMP START BATTERY BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT BECAUSE CARGO AREA IS NOT A

WINDSHIELD BROKE WHILE PARKED. RESULTING IN A $1000 COST TO REPLACE AND RECALIBRATE SAFETY CAMERAS. CAR WAS STATIONARY, PARKED IN MY GARAGE. CAR NEVER STRUCK BY STONES OR OTHER DEBRIS. WINDSHIELD WAS LESS THAN 12 MONTHS OLD. CRACK STARTED FROM THE OUTSIDE MOLDING ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD.

I BOUGHT A CERTIFIED SUBARU OUTBACK 2019 IN FEBRUARY 2020 WITH 4500 ODOMETERS READING. WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY ON MARCH 15, 2020, A TINY STONE HIT ON MY WINDSHIELD AND CRACKED MY WINDSHIELD. I REPLACED IT ON JUNE 17, 2020 WHICH COST ME $960.

FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE CAR WAS PARKED AND NOT IN MOTION. SPIDER CRACKS RADIATE OUT FROM UNDER THE REARVIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY. NO EVIDENCE OF ANY DAMAGE FROM EXTERNAL SOURCE (I.E. FLYING DEBRIS).

PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW STOPPED WORKING AND THE WINDSHIELD HAD CRACKED FOR NO REASON AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT.

I JUST EXPERIENCED MY SECOND WINDSHIELD BREAKAGE AND WAS NOT HIT BY A ROCK, OBJECT, ETC. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE (I95 IN FLORIDA). THE FIRST TIME (2019) WAS MID AFTERNOON, LOW TRAFFIC PATTERN. THE MOST RECENT TIME (NOV 2020) WAS APPROX 5:45AM ON INTERSTATE 95 NORTH HEADED TO WORK. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IN EITHER DIRECTION FOR MILES.

DRIVER'S SIDE VENT WINDOW SHATTERED WITHOUT IMPACT ON 10/31/2020 WHILE IN TRANSIT SOUTHBOUND ON ROUTE 28 NEAR HIGHLANDS PARK BRIDGE NEAR PITTSBURGH, PA., MOVING AT APPROX. 55MPH. DRIVER'S SIDE WAS FACING TOWARDS A RIVER SEPARATED FROM NORTHBOUND TRAFFIC BY AN APPROX. 40 FOOT DROP. NO TRAFFIC WAS IN FRONT/BEHIND/TO THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AT THE TIME.

WINDSHIELD CRACKED ON ITS OWN (CLEARLY NO POINT OF IMPACT). STARTED AT THE BASE OF THE WINDSHIELD, ABOUT 3 INCHES TO THE RIGHT (PASSANGER) SIDE OF THE MIDLINE. PROPAGATED THROUHGOUT THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

I PURCHASED THIS PRE-OWNED (BY THE DEALERSHIP) 2019 OUTBACK BOUGHT FROM RAMSEY SUBARU, NJ IN MAY 2020 WITH 3366 TOTAL MILEAGE. IN THE 6 MONTHS SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, IT HAS FAILED TO START TWICE, ONCE REQUIRING TOWING TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER AND ONCE REQUIRING A JUMP START. I AM NOW QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT WIFE AND KIDS BEING STRANDED.

BATTERY DRAINS AND IS DEAD AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS IF NOT STARTED OR DRIVEN

THE BATTERY DIED WITHOUT WARNING ON SEPTEMBER 17. THE CAR WAS JUMPED AND BROUGHT TO DEALER. DEALER SAID TESTED BATTERY AND FOUND TO BE 477 CCA. DID NOT REPLACE BATTERY. THEN ON OCTOBER 16TH THE BATTERY DIED AGAIN. THIS TIME CORROSION AND LEAK FOUND ON POSITIVE PART OF BATTERY. TOOK TO THE SAME DEALER, TOLD BATTERY WAS INDEED BAD AND REPLACED BATTERY. THERE IS NO WARNING OF LOW VOLTAGE IN BATTERY.

WHEN STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION ON 9/27/2020, THE WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED. NEITHER MY WIFE NOR I SAW ANYTHING PHYSICALLY STRIKE THE GLASS.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 2 WINDSHIELDS IN 6 MOS. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS MANY DAMAGED WINDSHIELDS. THE OFFENDING INCIDENTS BOTH TOOK PLACE ON THE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, A PEBBLE HIT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND CRACKED ABOUT 10 INCHES OF THE PASSENGER SIDE GLASS. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE MATERIAL OF THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOT SAFE. THE CONTACT CALLED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO PROVIDED A QUOTE FOR GLASS REPAIR. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,500.

SECOND TIME BATTERY WAS DRAINED. ALTERNATOR IS OK. IT IS DRIVEN EVERY WEEK INCLUDING HIGHWAY MILES. DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE CAR. IT HAD BEEN PARKED IN DRIVEWAY 1 1/2 DAYS. PREVIOUSLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH RADIO CHANGING VOLUME BY IT SELF AND HORN HONKING WITHOUT TOUCHING THE CENTER OF DRIVING WHEEL.

THE CAR HAD ONLY 6817 MILES ON IT WHEN WE BOUGHT IT ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO. THE CAR RAN FINE WHEN IT WAS DELIVERED, BUT TODAY, AFTER FINALLY REGISTERING AND RECEIVING THE NY PLATES (DELAYED BY COVID-19), WE TRIED TO START IT AND NOTHING HAPPENED. CHECKING THE BATTERY WITH MY VOLTMETER INDICATED ONLY 4 VOLTS REMAINING. THIS IS AFTER JUST SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY FOR THE PAST THREE WEEKS NOT USING THE CAR AT ALL. EITHER THE BATTERY IS FAULTY OR SOMETHING IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS SLOWLY DRAINING THE BATTERY.

I PURCHASED MY 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK ON NOVEMBER 23, 2019. ON FEBRUARY 15, 2020 ON A COLD WINTER MORNING I WAS DRIVIING TO WORK AND TURNED ON THE DEFROST TO HIGH AND THE WINDSHIELD JUST CRACKED. CURRENTLY, THE CRACK HAS TRAVELED FROM END TO END ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE COST TO REPLACE IT IS AROUND $ 800. I FEEL THAT SUBARU NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING WAY TOO OFTEN. IT SEEMS THAT THE WINDSHIELDS ARE TOO THIN. MY VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE EYESIGHT SYSTEM.

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JULY 2019 THE TOURING MODEL IN MAY THE CAR WAS DEAD A TOW COMPANY CAME GOT IT STARTED. THE NEXT DAY DEAD AGAIN THIS TIME IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. I'D HEARD FROM THE TOW GUY A CLASS ACTION SUIT ABOUT THE BATTERY. NOW SEPTEMBER 25 ALL BACKED TO GO FOR A WEEKEND EVENT WITH DOG, DEAD. WE UNPACKED LOADED A DIFFERENT CAR. SUBARU IS SAYING THEY NO NOTHING ABOUT IT AND IT'S PROBABLY MY DRIVING HABITS. THEY ASSUME I DON'T DRIVE MUCH IT'S NOW GOT 17K ON IT. I'M GOING TO BE TRAVELING ALL OVER WITH MY DOG TO SOME AREAS THAT ARE REMOTE. EVERYONE IS LEARNING OF THE ISSUE AN NOW I CAN'T SELL IT IN GOOD FAITH AND IT'S WORTHLESS TO TRADE. EACH TIME IT'S DIED IT'S BEEN IN THE GARAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED FIVE TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2019. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WHEN PARKED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE OR ACCESS THE BATTERY TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUSTIN SUBARU (8100 BURNET ROAD, AUSTIN, TX 78757, (512) 220-0930) AND THE BATTERY AND BODY CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN HOME AND PARKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A LOANER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500.

WINDSHIELD ON 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK WITH APPROXIMATELY 10000 MILES CRACKED WITH CRACK EXTENDING INTO THE FIELD OF VISION. WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY, THE WINDSHIELD WAS APPARENTLY HIT BY A SMALL STONE IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER OF THE WINDSHIELD BELOW THE WIPER CAUSING A VERY SMALL CHIP THAT COULD ONLY BE FELT WITH A FINGERNAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND UPON RETURNING, A CRACK HAD SPREAD DOWNWARD TO THE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND UP AND TO THE LEFT ACROSS THE FIELD OF VISION. UPON INVESTIGATING, WE FOUND MANY REPORTS OF RECENT MODELS OF SUBARU SUV'S EXPERIENCING WINDSHIELD CRACKING, PARTICULARLY IN THIS AREA OF THE WINDSHIELD WITH EITHER A VERY MINOR IMPACT OR EVEN NO IMPACT. A SUBARU TSB WAS ISSUED IN 2015/2016 COVERING THIS PROBLEM BUT IT APPEARS THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED IN MODEL YEARS FROM 2017 TO 2019.

WINDSHIELD SEEMED TO SPONTANEOUSLY CRACK WHILE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT LESS THAN 20 MPH. I HEARD A POP, THOUGH I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD, AND A CRACK ABOUT 22 INCHES LONG IMMEDIATELY APPEARED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK IS ABOUT HALFWAY UP, AND STARTING ON THE LEFT EDGE. UPON INSPECTION THERE IS A VERY TINY CHIP, ABOUT THE SIZE OF A POPPY SEED, NEAR THE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD, BUT NO OTHER EVIDENCE OF THE WINDSHIELD BEING HIT WITH A ROCK OR OTHER OBJECT.

STOP AT A LIGHT SOME TIMES WHEN THE GREEN LIGHT COME ON AN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT MOVE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATE AND NOT ONLY AT RED LIGHTS SOME TIMES WHEN FOLLOWING VEHICLES MY VEHICLE SLOW DOWN AND WHEN THE OTHER VEHICLE MOVE MY ACCELERATE BY HIMSELF

WINDSHIELD CRACKED TOO EASILY (ON ROAD) FOR A VEHICLE MARKETED FOR "OFFROADS". NO COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUES FOR THE VEHICLE. NO RECALLS OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM SUBARU USA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE ACCELERATE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER LIVERMORE SUBARU LOCATED AT 3600 LAS POSITAS RD, LIVERMORE, CA 94551, (925) 344-5466 HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED SHE EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9.

HAVE 10,000 MILES ON MY 2019 SUBARU AND HAVE BEEN STRANDED TWICE BECAUSE OF BATTERIE. SUBARU HAVE CHANGED TWO BATTERIES SO FAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH, SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND NOTICED A CRACK ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED 3 TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 16,985.

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE LATE MAY 2019 AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 4 WINDSHIELDS DUE TO CRACKS THAT DEVELOPED FROM BOTH MINOR ROCK STRIKES AND WHEN NOTHING HAS DAMAGED IT.

THE BATTERY CONTINUALLY DIES ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS JUST A FEW WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED IT, BRAND NEW. WE'VE OWNED THE CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR (AND IT ONLY HAS AROUND 6,000 MILES) AND THE BATTERY HAS DIED 4 TO 5 TIMES. MOST TIMES WE CAN JUMP IT OR THE DEALERSHIP DOES. THIS TIME THE BATTERY IS DEAD AND CANNOT BE JUMPED. THE DEALER REFUSES TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE FURTHER, OTHER THAN BY RECHARGING THE BATTERY. WE'RE HOPING TO GET IT REPLACED THIS TIME.

SMELL ANTIFREEZE

THE FRONT WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY DEVELOPED A LARGE CRACK, NECESSITATING A REPLACEMENT OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT SINCE THE CRACK WAS ON THE LOWER PART OF THE WINDSHIELD, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE CRACK OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND IT JUST WASN'T NOTICED UNTIL THE CAR WAS IN MOTION.

WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED. MID WAY UP ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, JUST LIKE HALF THE OUTBACK'S I SEE ON THE ROAD. 2014 AND FORWARD MODEL YEARS PITCHED THE WINDSHIELDS AT A LOWER ANGLE, MAKING THE WINDSHIELD OPENING IN THE BODY LARGER AND MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLEX WHEN THE FRAME RACKS GOING OVER BUMPS. (MAYBE THE SEALANT IS TOO RIGID.)

THE CAR WAS PURCHASED CERTIFIED PRE OWNED WITH LESS THAN 20000 MILES. AFTER I GOT MY FIRST CAR WASH NOTICED THOUSANDS OF PIT IN THE WINDOW. THEY HAD IT SUPER COVERED WITH A COMPOUND THE WASH TOOK OFF. NOW FOR NO REASON A HUGE CRAKE WENT THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD! WARRANTY OF COURSE WON'T COVER IT. WHAM!!! $$1000 REPAIR! I HAVE HAD CAR LESS THEN THREE MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD BEGAN TO CRANK WITHOUT ANY IMPACT. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT CALLED LOCAL DEALER ROYAL MOORE SUBARU LOCATED AT 1326 SE ENTERPRISE CIR, HILLSBORO, OR 97123, (503) 640-5660, AND MADE THEM AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,510.

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND MY SUNROOF EXPLODES. THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND. NO INDICATION OF SOMETHING HITTING IT, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING I HAD A LARGE CARGO ROOF BOX COVERING THE WINDSHIELD. IF SOMETHING DID HIT IT, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN IMPOSSIBLE ANGLE TO CLEAR THE ROOFBOX BUT ALSO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER MARKS ON MY CAR? I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR TWO WEEKS. THANKFULLY HAD THE SUNSHADE CLOSED BECAUSE IF NOT, GLASS WOULD HAVE EXPLODED INTO THE CAR AND ONTO ME DRIVING AS WELL. NOW THE GLASS WAS SPEWED OVER THE INTERSTATE AND I HAVE AN OBVIOUS UNLOCKED ENTRY POINT INTO MY CAR. WHEN IT EXPLODED, IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN BLAST. I THOUGHT I WAS BEING SHOT AT.

WE BOUGHT OUR 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK IN MAY, 2019. BEFORE WE HAD 1000 MILES, A ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND CRACKED IT. FIRST REPLACEMENT/RECALIBRATION. THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN THE GARAGE IN FEBRUARY 2020 WHEN I NOTICED A CRACK ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. A SECOND REPLACEMENT/RECALIBRATION. THIS MORNING (8/24/2020) WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT TO RETURN HOME FROM MD VA I NOTICED MY THIRD CRACKED WINDSHIELD. I WILL BE REPLACING IT SOON. I HAVE COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE THROUGH GEICO, SO I HAVE NO OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES, BUT I BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING MUST BE LACKING IN THE DESIGN OR QUALITY OF THE WINDSHIELD TO HAVE IT CRACK THREE TIMES IN 15 MONTHS.

FRONT WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED IN SAME LOCATION, TWO SEPARATE EVENTS, OVER A PERIOD OF 4 WEEKS. EACH TIME THE CRACK APPEARS TO ORIGINATE IN THE TOP CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD AND THEN THE CRACK MIGRATES TO THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD.

I HAD MY WINDSHIELD REPLACED IN MARCH 2019. GOT A ROCK CHIP IN THE REPLACED WINDSHIELD FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY PROGRAM THROUGH SUBARU. THREE DAYS LATER I COME OUT AND THE FIXED CHIP SPREAD A FOOT ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD AND IS RAPIDLY GROWING. SUBARU IS NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP OF WEAK/FAULTY GLASS AND THE FRAME THAT THE WINDSHIELD IS INSTALLED INTO. I HAVE HAD TWO OTHER VEHICLES FOR OVER TEN YEARS THAT NEVER HAD A CRACKED WINDSHIELD, LET ALONE A ROCK CHIP THAT VIOLENTLY SPREADS. I DID NOT PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE TO SPEND $1000+ ON A REPLACEMENT EVERY YEAR.

THE BATTERY DIES CONSTANTLY. I'VE HAD IT FOR JUST OVER A YEAR AND THE BATTERY HAS FAILED 4 TIMES.

CRACKED WINDSHIELD STARTING AT THE DRIVER'S SIDE EDGE AND CONTINUING OVER 50% OF THE WINDSHIELD HORIZONTALLY. VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY DURING THIS TIME.
