2018 Subaru Crosstrek VISIBILITY/WIPER

I HAVE TWO SMALL CRACKS ON MY WINDSHIELD AFTER A 1.5 YEARS OF OWNING IT. THE FIRST ONE (ATTACHED IMAGES): WAS CRACKED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I GUESS A SMALL ROCK FLIPPED UP AND HIT AND IT CRACKED. WAS GOING ROUGHLY 60-65 MPH. THE SECOND ONE (NOT PICTURED): IS MORE TOWARDS THE LOWER MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THIS WAS ALSO CRACKED WHILE MOVING FROM A SMALL ROCK THAT FLEW UP. I WAS TRAVELING MUCH SLOWER THIS TIME AS IT WAS MORE OF A NORMAL ROAD OUT IN THE COUNTRY. I WAS GOING AROUND 45 MPH. IT SEEMS ABSURD TO ME THAT I ALREADY HAVE A CRACKED WINDSHIELD 1.5 YEARS INTO OWNING THIS VEHICLE WHEN EVERY VEHICLE I'VE OWNED BEFORE THIS ONE HAS NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN BEFORE.

A CRACK DEVELOPED IN THE WINDSHIELD, STARTING JUST UNDER THE WIPERS IN THE WIPER DEFROST REGION. BY THE TIME I NOTICED THE CRACK, IT HAD PROPAGATED LONGER THAN WAS SAFE TO REPAIR. THE CRACK ALSO DEVELOPED INTO A COMPLEX CRACK (SPLIT INTO TWO DIRECTIONS FROM THE INITIAL CRACK). THE CRACK LENGTH SPANNED ~70% OF THE WIDTH OF THE WINDSHIELD, APPROXIMATELY 3-4 INCHES ABOVE THE WIPER BLADES. THERE WAS NO APPARENT REASON WHY THE CRACK OCCURRED. I DO NOT REMEMBER A ROCK OR OTHER DEBRIS STRIKING THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING, AND I AM THE ONLY INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS DRIVEN THE VEHICLE.

AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE WIPER BLADES DO NOT PROPERLY CLEAR AND WILL LEAVE AREA OF PUDDLED WATER ON THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING VISIBILITY FOR THE DRIVER TO BE MADE. AT STANDSTILL THE WIPER BLADES WILL VIBRATE WHEN YOU CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD WITH THE WASHER FLUID. BUT A VERY NOTICEABLE VIBRATING WIPER BLADE IS VISIBLY SEEN. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE. I WAS ABLE TO FIND A SET OF AFTERMARKET BLADES THAT SOMEWHAT FITS THE ADAPTER THAT WILL FULLY MAKE IT OPERATIONAL. HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT PROPERLY SECURED TO THE WIPERARMS. I JUST HAD SERVICE AT 27,500 MILES AND WITH THE SAME RESULTS OF REPLACING THE WIPERARMS. DEALERSHIP DOES NOT SEEM TO BE TOO INTERESTED IN FIXING THE ISSUE. DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE WIPER ARM CONNECTIONS POINT. THERE ARE NO AFTERMARKET WIPER BLADES I'VE BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE THAT WILL PROPERLY FIT THE WIPERARMS FOR BOTH FRONT BLADES. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NOT TO MENTION THE WINDSHIELD WILL BOIL UP FASTER WITH HOW THE WINDSHIELD WASHER SOLUTION WILL REMAIN ON THE WINDSHIELD AND WIPER ARMS AT HIGHWAY SPEED...... HIGHWAY SPEED IS ANYWHERE FROM 60-80 MPH.

SMALL PEBBLE HIT WINDSHIELD. NOT MOVING AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED. NOW WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED.

SUNROOF EXPLODED AND SHATTERED WITHOUT ANY CONTACT

CRACK APPEARED IN LOWER DRIVER'S SIDE PORTION OF WINDSHIELD. CAR WAS PARKED WHEN CRACK APPEARED. NO KNOWN SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO WINDSHIELD. CRACK APPEARS TO HAVE STARTED UNDERNEATH WINDSHIELD WIPER AT THE DE-ICER AREA AND THEN SPREAD UPWARDS.
