NHTSA Complaint #10662052 — 2013 MAZDA CX-5

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I HEARD A SUDDEN SNAP LIKE SOUND ON THE WINDSCREEN, THEN I SAW A STAR SHAPED STONE CHIP APPEAR ON THE WINDSCREEN, ON THE RIGHT SIDE ABOUT AN 1 INCH FROM THE SIDE AND ABOUT 7 INCHES FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSCREEN. I HAD DRIVEN NO MORE THAN ABOUT 100 FEET, WHEN A CRACK ABOUT 12 INCHES WAS ALREADY THERE. MY WARRANTY COVERS STONE CHIPS AND CRACKS LESS THAN 6 INCHES. THERE SEEM TO BE A DEFECT WITH THE CX 5 WINDSCREENS, BECAUSE I HAVE SEEM SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BY OTHER OWNERS IN FORUMS. OTHER VEHICLES YOU GET A STONE CHIP AND IT DOES NOT SPREAD THAT QUICKLY, AT LEAST YOU GET A OPPORTUNITY TO GO AND GET IT REPAIRED. I DID NOT EVEN GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY AND THE STONE CHIP HAD ALREADY SPREAD IN EXCESS OF 12 INCHES. *JS
