Description of the problem	When i parked my car at my workplace there was no visible damage to the windshield and when i returned afterwards, there was a large crack, over a foot long coming from the top of the driver's side. Upon inspection, there is an extremely tiny point of impact from a tiny pebble. The windshield is so fragile. I suspect they use thinner glass to allow eyesight to function properly. I've heard of people needing to replace windshields within weeks of each other. It's concerning when subaru markets these vehicles to be capable of handling all weather conditions when the windshield is not even strong enough to withstand a tiny pebble. I drive the speed limits, never tailgate, and i never had this problem on any other vehicles i've owned. I'm truly disappointed that i will have to replace my windshield and have eyesight recalibrated, which will be very costly, with less than 4,000 miles on the odometer.
