Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	A spontaneous 20-25in windshield crack has appeared overnight while my 2019 subaru forester was parked in a covered parking spot at my home on 8/25/2019. I was surprised to see this in the morning on sunday as there was no crack on saturday and the car was just sitting there overnight. Seems like the crack started below the driver's window wiper (where the wiper heating element is located) and developed a c-shape crack up and to the left towards the driver's view side. No signs of chips or dents on the windshield, it has cracked for no obvious reason. Please see pictures attached. I have googled this issue and it seems that there were a lot of similar complaints about outback and forester in the past. It would be nice if subaru acknowledged and fixed this issue. Thank you for your help! Best regards, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
