Your 2022 Crosstrek suddenly accelerated on its own while you had your foot on the brake and were trying to shift to Park, causing it to crash into a parked car and garage. Subaru's inspection found no abnormalities with the brakes, accelerator, or throttle, but the vehicle's event data recorder did not save any data from the accident. Your car has also experienced a completely dead battery, and you're concerned about whether the vehicle is safe to drive. The repair will likely involve a thorough diagnostic inspection of the engine control system, throttle response system, and brake components to rule out electrical or mechanical faults.

Your moonroof suddenly shattered and flew outward while you were driving on a highway, even though there was no impact or collision. This appears to be a spontaneous failure of the glass panel. The repair will likely require complete replacement of the moonroof assembly.

Your windshield has developed two cracks on its own without any impact or accident. The cracks appeared after normal use over time and are causing safety concerns. Replacing the windshield may also require recalibration of camera-based systems that rely on the glass for proper alignment.

Your windshield cracked from a small piece of gravel while driving at less than 40 mph. You've experienced multiple windshield cracks on two different Subaru Crosstreks, and you're concerned that the windshield is too fragile and compromises visibility and safety. Addressing this issue may require Subaru to evaluate windshield glass quality or manufacturing specifications.

Your windshield cracked and Subaru quoted $1,300 to replace it, which includes recalibrating the EyeSight safety camera system. The owner reports this is part of a widespread issue with Subaru windshields cracking easily, and that filing a comprehensive insurance claim would increase their insurance rates. Windshield replacement typically involves removing the old glass, installing new glass, and recalibrating any camera or sensor systems attached to it.

Your backup camera displays a blurry or foggy image, making it difficult to see clearly when reversing. This could be caused by a dirty lens, condensation inside the camera, or an internal malfunction. The camera may need cleaning, defogging, or replacement depending on the root cause.

Your tires are wearing out prematurely at just 25,000 miles, and the dealership has not investigated why this is happening. The excessive wear could be due to a wheel alignment issue or a manufacturing defect, but the dealership hasn't checked for either problem. A wheel alignment inspection should be performed to identify the root cause, and if alignment isn't the issue, the vehicle may have a defect that needs manufacturer review.

Had the car for about 3 months, I was driving and the window chipped pretty easily. Got that window chip repaired, and not long after that, I noticed another chip happen, small one but the windshield should not be chipping this easily.
