Consumer Description

CAR SAT FOR APPROX 4 HOURS WHILE VISITING RELATIVES, ON MY HOME I NOTICED A CRACK APPROX 8-10" LONG IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD, FROM THE BASE UNDER THE WIPERS UP TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD CURVING TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE AT ALMOST A 90 DEGREE ANGLE AT THE END. THERE ARE NO MARKS THAT LOOK LIKE ANYTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD, IT'S A STRAIGHT CLEAN CRACK. I'M HOPING THE DEALER WILL COVER IT BUT FROM WHAT I'VE READ IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD. I WOULD THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE WINDSHIELDS, IF THEY ARE CRACKING LIKE THIS FOR NO APPARENT REASON, OR BECAUSE OF WEATHER CHANGES, OR BECAUSE YOU'RE WASHING YOUR CAR ON A HOT DAY, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THEM IF THE CARS ARE ACTUALLY IN AN ACCIDENT, THEY WOULD NEVER WITHSTAND THE IMPACT AND SHATTER TO A MILLION PIECES! HOW SAFE IS THAT? THE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH BETTER MADE WINDSHIELDS. *TR
