Description of the problem	Windshield issues. Starting 2/11/2017 first stone ding - kings subaru recommended windshield replacement. Part was ordered and installed by a mel's auto-glass. I pay $250. 00 deductible for repair. 7/28/2017 - same issue, stone ding - same dealer recommends glass replacement. Getting a new windshield much more difficult this time. One month later i seek a second opinion from safelite. They are able to fix windshield and do so at no cost to me. I cancel windshield order from kings subaru and cancel insurance claim since repair was done at no cost to me. 4/4/2018. Stone ding - safelite repairs glass - i pay $104. 40 7/13/2018 - vehicle is parked - hot day. Now has cracked glass from right side towards left side. No evidence of hit. I drive to kings subaru, they take pictures and forward to subaru for a possible claim - i am denied assistance so i file another insurance claim and have a glass ordered thru safelite. I learn about a national back order on subaru that affects windshield delivery. Subaru customer support agrees to expedite delivery and ships windshield to kings subaru. They sell windshield to another customer. 8/30/2018 re-order windshield thru safelite - they use a different dealer they have a good relationship with. Still waiting for glass to arrive and get installed. I realize subaru does not manufacture glass but there must be something wrong quality wise with the vehicle or the glass to have this many issues. I am unaware of any recalls on this vehicle involving windshields - documentaion attached.
