NHTSA Complaint #11290325 — 2019 NISSAN MURANO

THE WINDSHIELD ON MY VEHICLE CHIPS EXTREMELY EASILY AND QUITE POSSIBLY IS DEFECTIVE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY FOR THE BELIEF THAT THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT HOLD UP AS INTENDED IN AN ACCIDENT OR IF SOMETHING LARGE WERE TO STRIKE IT. WHEN I AM IN MOTION, SEVERAL CAR LENGTHS AWAY, VERY TINY STONES TOSSED UP FROM SMALL VEHICLES AWAY ARE CREATING LARGE DIVOTS/CHIPS. IT APPEARS THE TYPE OF STREET - CITY OR HIGHWAY - DOES NOT MATTER; IT HAPPENS ON BOTH AT VARIED SPEEDS AND TEMPERATURE/WEATHER CONDITIONS. 5 CHIPS ON THE WINDSHIELD IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THE STATISTICAL AVERAGE. ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE SAME ROADS FOR 4 YEARS IN 3 DIFFERENT VEHICLES, TWO OF WHICH WERE MURANOS (A 2018 AND 2019) AND ONLY THE RECENT MURANO (2019) HAS HAD ALL OF THESE CHIPS. THERE ARE ALSO MANY OTHER NICKS THAT JUST DIDN'T BREAK MORE. *I HAVE HAD ALL THE CHIPS REPAIRED, BUT ANTICIPATING MORE IN THE FUTURE.
