NHTSA Complaint #10596246 — 2014 MAZDA CX-5

IN ABOUT ONE YEAR AND 12,000 MILES THIS IS THE SECOND CRACKED WINDSHIELD I HAVE HAD. THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING AND HEARD A POP. ONE MINUTE LATER, THERE WAS A CRACK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. NO HITS BY A ROCK, NOTHING. THIS IS AN STRUCTURAL PART OF THE CAR THAT IS FAILING CONSTANTLY, ACCORDING TO OTHER MAZDA OWNERS AND MAZDA IS LOOKING THE OTHER WAY AND DENYING THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. AS SOMEBODY HAS SAID, IT IS PROBABLE THAT IN ORDER TO SAVE WEIGHT THEY MADE THE WINDSHIELD TOO THIN, AND IT FAILS AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF SERVICE DUE TO EXCESSIVE STRESS. WHEN YOU GO TO THE DEALER, THEY RUN THE "PENCIL TEST", AN IDIOTIC WAY TO TEST STRESS AND THEY TELL YOU THAT A ROCK HIT YOUR CAR. *TR
