Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THE CAR AS A DEALER CAR (THEY TOLD ME IT WAS REGISTERED TO A MANAGER AS A TEST CAR). IT HAD 4,810 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR JUST OVER 300 MILES. WHEN I TEST DRIVE IT, IT MADE A SOUND LIKE A STONE HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THEN ALMOST EVERY TIME I HAVE DRIVEN IT SINCE, INCLUDING THREE TIMES TODAY, IT MADE THE SAME EXACT SOUND. I WAS DRIVING BOTH IN CITY TRAFFIC (RED LIGHT TO RED LIGHT) AND ON A TOLL ROAD WITH LIMITED TRAFFIC. WHEN I GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT THE WINDSHIELD, I NOTICED LITERALLY 50 OR MORE SMALL "CHIPS" IN THE WINDSHIELD.
