Subaru’s 1.4M Vehicle Cracked Windshield Lawsuit Preliminary Settlement Details

We have a 2020 Subaru Forester that we don't know how it got cracked. We assumed something hit the windshield and cracked /chipped it. But we don't remember it happening. What do we do. We have not had it fixed yet.

I have a 2020 Subaru Forester and I have had to replace the windshield twice. Just driving and next thing I know the lower part of my windshield is cracking. The second time it was after it had been replaced it happened again. I have proof of all the replacements. It's very frustrating.

My 2018 Subaru Forester's windshield cracked this July while parked for 3 days under a tree with no evidence of anything causing it. The crack seemed to start in the middle of the lower edge and was growing to the middle of the passenger's view. Temperatures were very moderate and ground was flat. I have photos and windshield replacement receipts.

I own a 2019 Subaru Forester. The windshield cracked for no obvious reason.

2020 Outback limited, four windshields.
One actually cracked because of a rock, the other three no reason at all.
Traded the car last month for a 2025 Outback touring XT.

Windshield cracked on our2020 forester we replaced it thru state farm and safelite in February 2021

I own a 2022 Legacy and just had the windshield replaced in the last few months. I had no know issue causing it, just came out of work one day to a cracked windshield.

My windshield cracked on my 2019 Ascent in 2021. Had it some what repaired because within a few days the crack reappeared. It’s not gotten any worse but replacing was / is the last option.

2021 outback with cracked windshield ....cracking occurred in spring 2024 when vehicle we relocated to Albuquerque NM and no longer garaged. No impact associated with the cracking.

We bought our 2022 Outback in August of 2021. We had to replace the windshield in February of 2022, and then again in April 😬 but our insurance paid for it both times. Other than this and off-and-on issues with using Android Auto, this car has been flawless for over 63k miles.

I purchased a 2021 Subaru Forester. Got a chip in the windshield thanks to a rock. Was sitting in my car at a rest stop, motor not running, and watched as the windshield crack spread from side to side. How do I get in on this lawsuit?

I own a 2021 Subaru Ascent Touring and I noticed a chip at the center of the windshield about the size of a penny. I called my insurance (Wawanessa) which covers free of charge for repair as long as the windshield does not require replacement. The repair the shop (Safelite AutoGlass) used a resin fill method. There is still a blemish and a slight noticeable hairline crack (1/4 inch) within the repair.
I'm wondering if the lawsuit settlement will cover this existing repair by replacing the windshield.
Thank you for the information.

I have a 2017 Legacy that has a mysterious chip. I noticed it one morning as i was leavingfor work. It wasn't there the day before. I know that my Legacy is older than the ones in the lawsuit; however, I am wondering if this may go back further.
Thank you.

I got up one morning and had a large crack in my front windshield. paid $500 deductible and had it replaced. Will wait and see how this turns out.

My 22 Outback Wilderness Edition had the window crack the night I got it home from the dealership ☹️

I have a 2020 Subaru Forester that I had to replace the windshield. I just attributed the crack to a pebble hitting the windshield. I had Safelight replace it and I had to pay for it. It cracked all the way across the windshield. Thanks. Donna

I have replaced 3 wind shields in my 2020 Subaru Outback

It's crazy that there is a lawsuit for this but not the Harmon Kardon headunits that are delaminating and becoming distractions. My '19 had that happen and was quoted $2k from the dealership. Went to an aftermarket audio installer, paid $1300 for an aftermarket and have all of the factory creature comforts working like backup camera, gauge cluster center screen, steering wheel controls, and Android Auto.

My 2024 Legacy, windshield too thin? Hit by a small rock and it cracked! At 2000 miles. Need to be a lot stronger.

I have had three replacements of windshields on my 2021 Outback. They were all in the same location on the right side of the vehicle. I do not have photos just the receipts.

I had a windshield crack in my 2018 Forester. Parked it. Went inside to a 10 minute dr appt and came out to a cracked windshield. Receptionist had a clear view of my car and said no one had been near it.

Have 2012 forester windshield cracked across bottom, replaced it twice.

I have replaced the windshield on my 2020 Outback 3 times. 2 times at Subaru dealer and last time with aftermarket glass hoping it would last longer

Hi,

Does this class suit apply to owners of Subaru vehicles who are residents of Canada? If so, I had a complete replacement of cracked windshield in 2021 at a Subaru dealership.

Please let me know.
Thanks and regards,
Igor

We replaced our windshield 3 times since we have our 1019 Subaru Forrester sport.
They cracked to easy i think cheap materials (ckass)

My four month old 2024 subaru forester got a chipped windshield after three months if owning it.

I just noticed a small chip on the windshield of my 2021 Subaru Forester. I cannot recall the windshield being hit.

22 Outback here. My windshield has cracked 2 times already, and I was really starting to wonder what was going on. I'm very happy to have stumbled upon this article!

Was setting at stop light in 2022 and windshield cracked front lower left corner to right lower corner. On our 2020 Outback. Took the vehicle to Yark Subaru and they replaced it free.

2019 crosstrek windshield cracked replaced with insurance company replacement cracked recently.
