My Subaru Legacy windshield was damaged resulting in a crack 8/9/20 on the road. This was repaired. Another small object hit the windshield shortly after on 10/11/20 that was to big to repair and needed a windshield replacement. After that on 11/18/20 another pebble cracked the replacement windshield while on the road. Among all the cars I've had, this car has the most fragile windshield.

Windshield cracked while driving - unsure if anything struck the window or not, but it started off as a 6 inch crack and in under 24 hours has spread to over 2 feet in length. I have read where my year/make/model is currently in a class action lawsuit due to faulty windshields and I would like it noted that I have also been impacted by the faulty oem windshields that Subaru is using.
