Description of the problem	Driving on a four-lane freeway with no other vehicles around me, the passenger's door side mirror "exploded". There was a large bang that sounded like a blown tire, which is what i thought it was at first. Then i looked to my right and saw my passenger's side door mirror hanging in pieces by its electrical wiring, and the plastic, outside mirror casing completely destroyed. I pulled to the side of the road to get a better look, and the debris scrapped-up my passenger window pretty badly, too. Lots of "etching" in the passenger window. I was driving approximately 45 mph through a curve on a four-lane road. There were no cars in front of me or behind me, and nothing for me to hit or sideswipe. The side door mirror simply "exploded". Had there been a passenger sitting in the front passenger's seat with the window rolled-down, i am certain they would have been killed, or seriously injured, from the flying glass and plastic casing from the passenger's side door mirror and its casing. A search on the internet today showed me that this is more of a reoccurring problem than perhaps previously thought. Very dangerous, and scary. I'm taking the 2017 subaru impreza 5 door back to the dealership this afternoon, hoping they will repair/replace it under warranty as i am the original owner and the vehicle has less than 12,000 miles on it. (car was purchased new in october 2017)
