The driver's seat continuously squeaks while driving. Subaru dealer says I need a new seat bottom. Apparently, there are other vehicles and years with this same issue.

I folded my rear seats down to gain more cargo area room, upon unloading my cargo, I proceeded to fold up my rear seats. Both rear seats folded up and locked, except the driver's side rear seat locked into position but would recline backwards and not stay locked.

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.
