Your EyeSight safety system randomly turns off during drives without any apparent reason, disabling all related safety features including lane departure warning, forward collision avoidance, emergency braking, and lane keeping assistance. The system may turn back on after a while, sometimes in the middle of long drives, and this has happened at least a dozen times since you purchased the car. Your dealership hasn't been able to replicate the problem or find anything wrong. Resolving this will likely require a software update, camera recalibration, or replacement of the EyeSight sensor module.

Your windshield developed a 4-inch horizontal crack across the glass with a loud bang sound, even though nothing visibly hit it. A glass professional determined it was a stress crack rather than impact damage. This sudden cracking while driving can distract you, weaken the windshield's structural integrity, block your view, and in worst cases cause the glass to shatter—potentially leading to loss of vehicle control. The windshield will need to be replaced.

On my second windshield repair, windshield is highly sensitive and prone to cracks and chips, unbelievable / unacceptable for a new car. I’ve drove a Acura MDX 2006 previous to driving a Subaru Outback 2025 and not once have I ever had a windshield be so prone to cracks / chips.
