Internal NHTSA #	11316702

Model	OUTBACK
Model Year	2018
File date	10/02/20
Component	VISIBILITY/WIPER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Windshield developed a crack on the top passenger side, i do not recall any rocks or debris hitting the windshield. Next morning the crack grew to over half the windshield. Over the next few days the crack has grown to cover 85% of the windshield horizontally, almost in a complete "u" shape. I now have to decide to spend the ~$1,000 to replace the windshield or drive with the crack. After reading all the complaints on 2nd cracks, i'm hesitant. The driver seat has a very annoying squeak when getting in/out and while driving the vehicle. Some days it's worse than others, and it doesn't seem to matter what the current weather conditions are.
