I'm happy to see this is finally coming to light. While they're not mentioned in this specific lawsuit, I had this issue with a 2016 Crosstrek where I had to replace the windshield twice due to very minimal chips that spread across the entire windshield within minutes. (One from me smacking a mosquito and accidentally hitting the glass with my wedding ring...yeah really....)
But my 2020 Outback's windshield cracked within the first 6 months due to a chip I didn't even notice. ie: It was fine when I parked at a mall and when I returned an hour later there was a crack all the way across. And yeah, with the Eyesight Calibration that was an expensive replacement. Fortunately after the first Crosstrek replacement I added windshield coverage to my insurance policy.

In comparison, I have a 1993 Chevy Silverado with 270,000 miles that's had a chip in the windshield for probably 25 years. Never filled with epoxy, never spread.
