Spontaneous cracked windshield

[Hanz]

Has anyone ever had a spontaneous crack occur on their windshield?
The other morning I got in my Outback “22 to go to work and there it was. Started on the driver side edge and has since traveled to the middle of WS. No sign of any kind of impact. Any thoughts? I’m on the hook for about $1000.00

Happens all of the time. Did you search this forum or...anywhere?

Windshields in all recently made cars is crap these days, irregardless of the make. I think its thinner glass due to CAFE crap. My mechanic says it's all coming out of Mexico, these days and it's simply poor quality.

I have a 2025 forester limited and I read on Reddit torque the 25 Subaru forester would have a thicker glass to address this flaw

That would be good news if it comes to pass. Bout time too.
