2023 Subaru Ascent Wipers & Visibility Problems

Your windshield appears to be unusually prone to cracking. Small chips in the glass are quickly expanding into larger cracks within minutes of appearing. This makes the windshield difficult to see through and unsafe to drive with.

Your 2023 Subaru Ascent's front windshield has cracked three times in 20 months from minor rock impacts, and you've already had it replaced twice with OEM glass in just three months. You're concerned that the windshield is too fragile and poses a safety risk, affects your vehicle's structural integrity, and is reducing your car's value. A windshield replacement or repair will likely involve ordering OEM glass from Subaru and having it professionally installed to ensure proper sealing and structural integrity.

Your windshield is prone to chipping easily on normal road driving — you may see multiple chips appear within a short time.
