Description of the problem	Our windshield has had 3 chips/cracks in it since new. The first one was a chip that was repaired by safelight. The second was a crack/chip where the entire windshield was replaced by safelight. Both of these happened while the vehicle was on-highway. Both were in different spots, but were located on the drivers side. The third one was a large crack on the driver side we noticed yesterday (12/26/18) with no apparent chip associated. We're not sure if this happened while vehicle was moving or stationary. Dates for the initial cracks are estimates, but first one we estimate to be 8/2017. The second one where the windshield was replaced is estimated may 2018. We noticed others were having similar issues after doing a search 12/26/18. It also appears that subaru had acknowledged there was a problem with some 2015 and 2016 models, but our vehicle vin did not show up when doing a search.
