2018 Subaru OUTBACK Unknown Or Other Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1613814
Internal NHTSA #	11271376

Brand	SUBARU
Model	OUTBACK
Model Year	2018
File date	25/09/19
Component	UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Windshield cracked a second time just a few months after the new windshield was replaced. The pebble that hit the windshield wasn't large on either occasion. The dealership charges a large fee to calibrate the eye sight feature and that can only be done at a dealership so we can't get a better/stronger windshield anywhere else nor purchase a competitively priced one. It feels like subaru is making good money off of defective weak windshields. In my previous car, a mazda 3, i drove for 12 years without a single crack. In a new subaru, it's happened twice within a year. Both times i was driving highway speeds between 65-70 mph. Both rocks where small. The first time was between cities driving back from lubbock to dallas when a truck slowed to the right for me to pass. The 2nd time was while driving in rush hour traffic on the tollway in a middle lane.
