Consumer Description

WINDSHIELD POSSIBLY HIT BY A ROCK (ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T SEE ONE) AND LARGE STAR WITH CRACKS FORMING AT BASE OF WINDSHIELD ON DRIVER'S SIDE. I HEARD THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELEMENT BEFORE I PURCHASED, BUT WAS ASSURED THAT THIS WAS FIXED FOR LATER RELEASED MODELS. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR LESS THAN A MONTH AND IT HAS ONLY 600 MILES ON IT. *LA
