I purchased my 2019 forester new. After 3,500 miles the windshield cracked. I was driving on the interstate and noticed the crack in the middle of the windshield and quickly spreading across the windshield. Although the vehicle was in motion, i didn't hear anything actually hit the windshield. I had it replaced with another subaru manufactured windshield just after having the car for 3 months. Last week, a small…

Drove the vehicle in the morning (heat on high). Parked it in a private lot for about 5 hrs. There was light snow/ice that day. I got out to drive and see a huge crack on the windshield spanning from the passenger side through to the center of the windshield. There were previously no discernable nicks on the windshield. Contacted subaru, all forester windshields are backordered. Some on the forester forums have…

I was driving the vehicle and a crack appeared spontaneously in the windshield starting from the bottom of the windshield close to the wiper. I have been unable to obtain a replacement windshield due to backorder and unavailability of subaru windshields for this vehicle. I am unable to drive the car due to the condition of the windshield. I am responsible for payments for a car that i cannot drive because subaru…

Rear gate door would not open whether using keyless fob, rear gate door button or dash button. Had to have car battery disconnected for a short period of time and then reconnected it to get the rear gate door to work.

Homelink, the in car operation for garage door openers changed creating what i believe to be a hazard. The current version only operates with the ignition on while previous models did not have this requirement. I contacted subaru and their reply was "working as intended". My point is this, how many people might now start their car in an enclosed space (closed garage) because the homelink won't open the door until…

Since owning car since december 2018, i have noticed intermittently that the rear hatch will not open manually when i press the buttons in the back. Also sometimes it does not open when i press the button on left side of dashboard. There is a release mechanism on the inside rear door panel but it is difficult to reach because i have to crawl into the rear of car from a side door. I also need a metal tool to open…

Purchased 2019 subaru forester on 12/12/18. Within 1 month of purchase the windshield cracked while driving and nothing had got it to damage it. Because of a 500+ windshield backorder in the us and out of the country there was no idea as to when they would become available due to the cracks and not being able to safely see the rd to drive i had to make several attempts to subaru for them to cover the cost of a…
