Description of the problem	First time washing my new 2015 subaru outback with barely 900 miles on it. Parked it in front of the house. Walked from the garage to the vehicle to check for water spots and noted a 5" crack in the windshield where there wasn't one while i washed it! Starts where the heating element is under the passenger side wiper. It's rapidly spread up and across my driving line of sight. When the sun is up, the glinting becomes almost blinding. I took it to the dealer where i purchased it to report what to me was an obvious defect. Their head of service looked at it and pronounced it was caused by a rock. He tried to explain where he saw this "impact". I disagreed. There is no impact craze. They told me to contact my insurance company. The insurance examiner took pictures and pronounced it due to "a structural defect". Subsequently, the glass was ordered and i'm supposed to pay for it plus the installation or there'll be a re-stocking fee. I've waited over a month while being told there are shortages, or it's too new, and "due to the longshoreman's strike in long beach..." i rang up subaru of america, who opened a case and are having me go back to the dealer, have them take pictures, send those and the report from the insurance company to them. Seems like i'm doing a lot of work for what to me should be covered as a defective windshield or a structural problem with this model. There are 7 complaints, filed on this web-site from subaru owners, this model, same year, with the identical passenger side crack. There are numerous other records of these incidents recorded at safercar. Gov, and subaruoutback. Org i'm frustrated and disappointed beyond words as this is a new car.
