Consumer Description

LAST FEBRUARY I WAS SITTING IN MY 2009 HONDA FIT DEFROSTING THE WINDSHIELD AND AS THE DEFROSTER HEAT BECAME WARMER, I HEARD A CRACKING NOISE. THE WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED WHILE THE CAR WAS SITTING IN MY YARD WARMING UP AND DEFROSTING. I WAS SITTING IN THE CAR AND CAN ATTEST TO THE FACT THAT NOTHING STRUCK THE PARKED VEHICLE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK STARTED OUT AT APPROXIMATELY THREE INCHES OR SO AND HAS GROWN QUITE LARGE SINCE THEN. IT WAS EARLY MORNING WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT WAS BRIGHT DAYLIGHT SO THERE WAS NO WAY ANY OBJECT COULD HAVE FALLEN ON OR STRUCK MY VEHICLE WITHOUT MY BEING AWARE OF THIS. *TR
