Make sure your windshield is Volvo original and not aftermarket.
First road trip the window developed a stress crack with no sign of impact on/near the crack. Dealership took pics and submitted to Subaru. They decided to cover a new windshield under warranty (as they should).
Pros: windshield covered under warranty
Cons: poor windshield quality
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Mileage: 2000 km
I have a similar crack, xc40 recharge. It’s got a bit bigger now and no unfortunately not covered by warranty unless one has purchased the windscreen warranty for $2000 on top of extended warranty and some other warranty, tires perhaps or wheels can’t remember but I declined.
Cons: crack got bigger, not covered by warranty
Vehicle:
Volvo
my 24 v60 windshield cracked twice in a span of first 11 months and 11k mile of ownership. My previous car, I had one chip in 11 years and 132k miles. I wonder if Volvo windshield is weak or I have bad luck.
Cons: cracked twice, weak glass
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
Mileage: 11000 km
A pick-up truck with knobby tires kicked up a rock that chipped the windshield of my wife’s brand new Volvo within 30 minutes of her leaving the dealership.
Cons: windshield chipped quickly
Vehicle:
Volvo
I have a 2025 Forester , had to replaced windshield within the first 2 months of owning the vehicle. Waited 2.5 months for a windshield and now I have a small Crack only god knows how. Ridiculous.
Pros: replaced windshield
Cons: small crack
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
In my very recent experience, Subaru glass is caca.
Cons: glass is caca
Vehicle:
Subaru
One thing I am noticing though on a negative level is a very distinct and rather annoying whistling noise coming from the windshield (center area; rather top section at the level where the rear mirror is) starting at approximately 150kmh. I am driving often on the German Autobahn, the car is specified for high speed also - and I would simply not expect such a distinct whistling noise from a 80.000€ car.
Cons: annoying whistling noise, high speed noise
Vehicle:
Volvo XC60
Mine was delaminating with 38k miles Subaru replaced it even though I was out of the warranty time period
Cons: delaminating at 38k miles
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Mileage: 38000 km
