Description of the problem	Purchased the 2015 outback in sept. 2014. Took to back to dealership service dept. October. 24, 2014 because of loud popping noise around windshield especially when bluetooth phone connected. They could not find any problems. Popping noise around windshield continued from time to time. Took back to dealer july 29, 2015 for popping noise around windshield and poor radio am reception. They replaced the radio but am radio reception still not great. Got in the outback on nov 17, 2015 and there was a 5" crack on the bottom of the windshield slightly right of the center. A couple of weeks before this i was driving and heard a very loud popping noise. It made me jump as i thought the windshield was going to shatter but nothing happened. I had received a letter from subaru about windshield cracking problems so i contacted the dealership. I took it in so they could take a picture. At that time i also reported problems with the defroster not keeping the windshield clear especially on rainy days and nights. This problem with the defroster has occurred several times and it was i the lower portion of the windshield. I thought the subaru had electrical l issues because of the popping, poor am radio reception and the defroster. Now the windshield! This is my first subaru and possibly last if the problems persist. All of the incidents happened while driving but when i discovered the crack it was parked in the garage. Crack us now about 9".
