Description of the problem	During 4th week august 2019, i made an emergency stop on the shoulder on interstate 90. There was usual traffic, not sure if there was a tiny rock which came flying on my windshield, i haven't heard any noise nor i have seen any chipping. The next morning i woke up too see a tiny crack, immediately i contacted my insurance and local car dealership to find out cost's, but as it was weekend, i wasnt able to get a slot. 2 days later i see a nice fine crack across the screen, this was a bad surprise for me, i used a mazda for 3 years before and definitely traveled a lot, with tiny rocks flying on the windshield, but it never ever cracked. With subaru i am shocked, i felt glass quality to be either fragile or composition of windshield glass may be compromised(or poor). I am not sure if the company has noticed this complaints. When i spoke to 3rd party glass vendor he told me that there are many subaru outbacks which had seen similar issues. On top of it, i was told that there is a charge of ~250$ to adjust smart lens, which is ridiculous, so in summary when a windshield cracks it takes 350$ glass + 250$ lens correction = 600$, which i feel is highly in-justified. There has to be someone who needs to take a legal action against the company.
