The touch screen that controls the system's radio/navigation is very glossy and while driving home, the sun hit it at an angle and blinded me. Was barely able to drive, had to place my hand over the 7" screen to reduce the bright sun glare which was impeding my visibility and made it very unsafe to drive the car. This needs to be recalled as it will cause accidents if drivers are blinded by the light that bounces…

This should be considered as an extremely serious safety incident. *tr

Noticed an 18 inch crack in my 2015 subaru outback windshield starting at the top under the heating element two months ago. Was not hit by a rock and no impact spot found. Had the windshield replaced three weeks ago. While driving yesterday, heard a cracking sound and noticed a 12 inch crack appear in the lower left (again, starting where the heating element is and again, no rock sound or impact spot). My sister has…

Windshield developed a crack with no noticeable impact from debris. First incident december 1, 2014, windshield replaced with identical model by carlex (minus the subaru oem sticker). The replacement windshield has exhibited the same symptoms (developed a crack with no noticeable impact) on january 15, 2015. This seems like a safety issue for structural and visibility reasons. Both cracks began in the windshield…
