Description of the problem	My windshield is cracked for the 2nd time now in its first year of ownership. The first time it cracked it was because of a pebble strike from the road. Extremely small fragment struck the glass, made a pock mark, and the windshield was replaced. Today, less than a month later a new crack appeared while driving without any strike from an object. Subaru dealer claims it was struck but find a crack only without any point along it of an impact makes me very very suspicious. Now i have to wait for the insurance company to settle on charges and send a check before the next windshield can be applied. My wife and i were calmly driving on completely paved roads when we both watched the crack appear and grow during our drive. :-( i have driven for 50+ years, and owned 20+ cars. I've never had this happen.
