NHTSA Complaint #10219964 — 2008 JEEP COMMANDER

ONE MONTH AFTER PICKING UP MY 2008 JEEP COMMANDER I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH. A ROCK FROM A TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD NEAR THE FRAME IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. I COULD NOT INITIALLY SEE THE CHIP. I PARKED THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE CAR AN HOUR LATER THE CHIP HAD EXPANDED INTO A 12 INCH CRACK THAT CONTINUED TO GROW OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT WEEK. I FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND HAD THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD REPLACED. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST BAD LUCK UNTIL READING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE INFERIOR COMMANDER WINDSHIELD. *TR
