Consumer Description

FRONT WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED AN 'L' SHAPED CRACK FROM THE TOP CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD BEHIND THE REARVIEW MIRROR EXTENDING TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT SOMETHING HIT IT ON MY WAY HOME AND FOR SOME REASON I DIDN'T NOTICE... WHEN I INSPECTED IT, THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ANYTHING HITTING IT, NO DING NO ANYTHING, IT SEEMED TO JUST APPEAR OVERNIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT I HAD GONE OVER THE 36000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY BY A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES. I LOVE MY CAR, BUT THE MORE I READ THE MORE DISCOURAGED I GET. IT SEEMS IF I PAY TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD, IT WILL ONLY BREAK AGAIN. IF I DON'T HAVE IT REPLACED, I COULD BE DECAPITATED OR CRUSHED IN AN ACCIDENT. FOR ONLY HAVING 36700 MILES THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED UNPROVOKED. *TR
