NHTSA Complaint #10516030 — 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

WHILE TRAVELING ON A ROADWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, WHAT APPEARED TO BE A TINY PEBBLE STRUCK MY FRONT WINDSHIELD, WHICH RESULTED IN A CHIP IN MY WINDSHIELD. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE CHIP RESULTED IN A CRACK THAT SPANNED THE ENTIRE HORIZONTAL LENGTH OF MY WINDSHIELD. I HAVE HAD DRIVEN/OWNED OTHER NON-JEEP VEHICLES IN WHICH WINDSHIELDS WERE STRUCK BY LARGER PEBBLES/ROCKS AND SURVIVED WITHOUT HAVING SUSTAINED ANY DAMAGE. ADDITIONALLY, MY HUSBAND'S 2013 JEEP WRANGLER HAS SUSTAINED CRACKED FRONT WINDSHIELDS ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN A THREE MONTH PERIOD. DESIGN DEFECT?? SUBSTANDARD FRONT WINDSHIELD??? *TR
