Description of the problem	I have had two brand new subaru outbacks. My first was a 2015 and my second is a 2017 outback. My 2015 had 4 broken windshields in less than 2 years. My 2017 has had 3 broken windshields in 3 years. All together i have had 7 broken windshields in 5 years. Some happen when the car is not in motion and some have happened when the car is in motion. All the breaks begin somewhere around the perimeter of the windshield (up to about 3-4" from the edge. I can't tell what is causing the cracks to happen because there is either no indication of anything striking the windshield or there is a tiny "flick" crack sound as if a speck of sand hit the windshield. I have reported this problem to you before when i owned the 2015 outback. I see that there are now 2 class action suits pertaining to this. Hope this can be remedied.
