Description of the problem	In february 2019 i had to replace the windshield in my 2016 subaru outback because of a crack that started from the passenger side edge from a very tiny chip, and paid about $950 (oem equipment and due to the eyesight system calibration required). On february 29, 2020, i discovered a crack in the new windshield, in a similar place (passenger side, tiny chip at the every edge (black part of windshield), that then extended half way across the windshield. I could not remember anything hitting the windshield to cause the tiny chip, and it really was tiny and very shallow. The car had been parked all day in a safe, secure area. The crack was not there in the morning when i parked the car, but was there by the end of the day. Photo attached. It does not seem reasonable to have to replace a windshield annually! Subaru has a problem with their windshields!
