Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN BUT APPROXIMATELY 0.5 MILES IN 4 DAYS. ON THE 5TH DAY I GOT IN MY VEHICLE TO DRIVE AND THERE WAS AN "L" SHAPED CRACK ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD. THIS CRACK WAS NOT THERE THE LAST TIME I DROVE MY VEHICLE. THE ORIGIN OF THE CRACK BEGINS UNDER THE SEAM WHERE THE WINDSHIELD MEETS THE TOP OF THE CAR A FEW INCHES TOWARDS THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CRACK THEN GOES STRAIGHT DOWN FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 INCHES AND THEN ANGLES SHARPLY TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUES FOR APPROXIMATELY 12 INCHES. THERE IS NO CHIP,CRACK, OR NICK THAT APPEARS TO BE THE CAUSE OF THIS LARGE "L" SHAPED CRACK. THE REASON FOR THE CRACK IS COMPLETELY UNKNOWN. *TR
