I have a 2017 Forrester. When driving home into the sun late one afternoon I noticed what looked like a spider web stuck to the windshield. I stopped and on closer examination discovered it was a crack in the outer layer of safety glass that is not easily seen. I have now spotted several other cracks due to light refraction on the crack that yield spectral spots. A search on the web shows this is a problem with 2017-19 Forrester and in several instances people have had to sue for reimbursement. I have reported the problem to the dealer at the last service and told them they can only be seen in direct sunlight but they claimed they didn't see any cracks. Probably only checked while in the shop and not in sunlight. It is my understanding that a class action lawsuit has been filed in New Jersey.
