Consumer Description

WINDSHIELD HIT BY PEBBLE ON FREEWAY, SMALL CHIP NOTED ON PARKING VEHICLE FOR THE NIGHT IN GARAGE. NEXT MORNING APPROXIMATE 9"VERTICAL CRACK ON WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, BY THE TIME I HAD DRIVEN VEHICLE 12 MILES CRACK GREW TO APPROXIMATELY 27 INCHES HORIZONTALLY ACROSS WINDSHIELD. AFTER TWO WEEKS OF DRIVING THERE ARE NOW COMPETING DUAL CRACKS EACH MEASURING IN EXCESS OF 30 INCHES HORIZONTALLY ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. WITH OVER 45 YEARS OF SAFE DRIVING UNDER MY BELT I HAVE NEVER SEEN A WINDSHIELD PERFORM IN THIS MANNER. THIS MUST BE A SAFETY ISSUE, I HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME BELIEVING THIS IS NOT A ISSUE WITH EITHER THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE AND OR THE WINDSHIELD. WHAT IS THE NHTSA DOING TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND INSURE OR SAFETY? I HAVE THE OLD WINDSHIELD IF THIS WILL HELP TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE.
