Description of the problem	On 2/11/2016, i was driving my 2015 outback on highway 50 near folsom, ca. There was no vehicle in front of my vehicle with in 300 feet. All of a sudden, i noticed there was a 5 to 6 inch long crack on the windshield located the driver side lower corner. Although later on we found there was a chip on the windshield, no body on the car heard anything hit the windshield, nor saw anything hit the windshield. Within a few days, that crack became a two feet long crack from the driver side lower corner all the way to the center of the windshield. And it keep reflecting strong lights from different directions which made it more difficult to see things in front of my vehicle. This was the second windshield i have within one year's ownership of this car. The first one was cracked when i parked my car in the parking lot of a costco warehouse. Looking at the complains filed against the 2015 and 2016 outback on nhtsa, almost 50% complains are about windshield cracking issue. This ratio is the way higher than similar vehicles and previous model years. Although subaru extended wind shield warranty under certain circumstances, the problem is not solved. That's why 2016 outback owners are running into same situation. Please step in and urge subaru to deliver a real solution.
