There was nothing to strike the windshield this day.
#2020 SUBARU FORESTER FORUM CRACK#
This crack runs from the very bottom of the windshield up through the repaired "chip" mentioned above and on for another 12 inches or so. 30 on Apas the car was being driven in town, an approximately 15 inch crack appeared on the windshield. I had this repaired by safelite mobile service on Sept. The result was a very small crack about an inch long. On September 26, 2020, my 2020 Subaru Forester windshield was hit by some very small object that hardly made a sound when it struck. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The only symptom we are able to routinely detect is a low voltage on our battery, which we believe indicates a parasitic draw. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others" The vehicle was inspected by a body shop (recommended by our insurance) and the dealer. The dealer was not able to find anything wrong with the vehicle upon first inspection, but we are going to take it in again. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The original dead battery was initially identified by a body shop. The issue of the rear hatch means that anything that is placed in the rear of the vehicle may not be properly secured and could potentially fly out of the vehicle if the unlatched rear hatch opens while driving. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Issues with the battery dying multiple times puts me at risk of being stranded. I've only noticed this twice, but the first time I noticed this I realize we had been driving with the rear hatch open and our dog could have been put in serious risk if the rear hatch opened. I have a video of the rear hatch trying to latch and popping back open over and over again. In addition to the battery dying, we have recently noticed two situations where the rear hatch has not properly latched. The current battery is available for inspection. The battery has died 3 times since being replaced. That battery was replaced with a brand new Subaru battery. The battery died for the first time in March 2021, 8 months after we purchased the car with around 5500 miles on it. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request" - The original battery on our 2020 Subaru Forester died after some repairs related to getting rear ended. If I had been aware of this issue I would have purchased another brans and make of vehicle in October 2019. This is EXTREMELY concerning and it OBVIOUSLY a safety issue with these vehicles. 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.

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. If anything contacts my current windshield I fear it will completely disintegrate and my vehicle will be left with no windshield. My current windshield encountered a small piece of road debris and the windshield completely shattered and glass fragments were on my dashboard. The windshields seem extremely thin and sometimes no rock ding occurred but the windshield was discovered shattered in my garage. My last windshield replacement was the last windshield that the dealership received. I have already paid the dealership, but no windshields have been received in over 2 months. 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.
