Going a very low rate of speed a small rock was able to crack my windshield. I was merging onto a highway with a work vehicle in front of me. The windshield appears to be very weak and brittle. I have not even had my forester for a year and it seems as if dinks and cracks appear very easily. I had safelite come to fill in the crack and only 80% was able to be corrected.. on a crack smaller than a sand dollar. Things constantly seem to be headed towards the windshield. I don't know who to file a complaint with, I fear Subaru wouldn't care about what seems like a minor complaint. I am concerned about the potential of getting into a accident and my windshield raining over me. Or a small object blowing through my windshield.

Twice while driving on a highway, I blacked out. First time, ran off edge of road; second time, ran over into on-coming lane. Twice, I had major allergic symptoms. First, right after buying car; second, six months later. Twice, I grew breathless after driving car for several hours. Once, I could not keep my balance after driving car on a highway. All of these episodes occurred after longer than usual drives. Normally, I drive short distances around town. Twice, an opaque film formed on the exterior of the front windshield, obscuring visibility - once on a dark highway; once on entering a garage. Wipers, washer fluid, rain did not affect the film.
