2016 Subaru OUTBACK Visibility Wiper Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1652838
Internal NHTSA #	11318525
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	OUTBACK
Model Year	2016
File date	17/03/20
Component	VISIBILITY/WIPER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My windshield spontaneously cracked on the driver's side near the wiper blade, while driving with a factory windshield. The 6" crack from the corner almost immediately turned into a crack across the entire windshield - again no trauma or rocks. I was driving straight on a highway with no potholes or anything. I had the windshield replaced and it has again spontaneously cracked with no trauma (no rock or bug impact or other impacts/damages) on the passenger side by the wiper blade. I believe that the subaru windshield as well as the defrost system are defective. This will be my third windshield in under 3 months. Other subaru outback owners have complained about this and subaru continues to blame it on rocks. The second crack happened while my vehicle was stationary in the driveway!
