Description of the problem	Purchased a 2015 outback and experienced 4 cracked windshields in an 18 month period. Traded the car in for a 2017 outback hoping they fixed the design flaw. Now 6 months after 2017 outback purchase an outrageous crack formed on this new vehicle. All 5 cracks began not further than 2 to 3 inches from the frame. So 5 cracked windshields in a 2 year period from subaru outback. Automobiles. The dealership and manufacturer never would acknowledge that there are so many other people experiencing this problem. Sometimes the crack would appear spontaneously, sometimes it actually sounded like crackling sounds happening in frame and maybe (?) one time there might have been a small pebble hit the windshield. Twice i wasn't even driving the vehicle. Impedes vision. Distracts driver.
