Consumer Description

A CRACK OCCURRED IN THE WINDSHIELD OF MY NEWLY PURCHASED HONDA ELEMENT, IN THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE. THERE IS A SMALL "PIT" THOUGH I DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING IMPACTED THE WINDSHIELD. AFTER READING MANY OTHERS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ONLINE, I DECIDED TO FILE COMPLAINT. MOST PEOPLE ARE BEING TOLD THEIR CRACKS ARE DUE TO AN IMPACT AND THUS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE WINDSHIELD HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. *JB
