Description of the problem	Subaru outback 2018 have an issue with the residue leak from the windshield near the eye sight it happened twice to my vehicle first time when i took the vehicle they said it might be a leak from the glue in eyesight and they said they have eyesight might be loose and they have tighten it and second time it happened and then they said no no the eyesight doesn't have any glue and this is coming from some glue used in the windshield. Subaru doesn't seem to be worry about it and all they say is they are not able to duplicate the issue. This issues started happening in this summer when the temperature is extreme hot the glue what they used to stick the windshield to the body of the car melts and it comes out when i took it to the dealership all they say is we are not able to replicate the issue. Contacted subaru customer service and they said we had our master technician had a look at the car and the field engineer they are not able to see this as an issue. When i bought a brand new car from subaru and with in 2 years the glue is melting because of heat not sure what kind of car subaru manufactures. The supervisor from subaru customer service doesn't seem to have any concern on the issue and keep saying when we are not able to replicate the issue its not our concern. I am getting scared if the glue came out and the windshield breaks or cracks when i am driving what will happen to the safety of me and my family. I took it to 2 separate dealerships. Subaru of america and colonial subaru. Subaru america said it might be a leak from the glue of the windshield and colonial subaru said they are not able to find the problem.
