Came out to my car that was parked in my garage and the windshield was cracked from right to left. It was not like that when I parked it the day before.

windshield easily breaks

I love my 2013 Subaru Outback, BUT..I have ANOTHER cracked windshield that needs a total replacement where the costs come out of my pocket! I have not fixed this windshield because it is the second time I have had a large horizontal crack in a four year span.
