Consumer Description

THERE ARE SO MY SMALL PITS AND CHIPS IN MY WINDSHIELD. I HAVE LESS THAN 6000 MILES ON THE CAR, AND OWNED IF FOR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. I NOTICED THE FIRST CHIP IN THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNERSHIP BUT THOUGHT IT WAS BAD LUCK. SINCE THEN I AM FACING WELL OVER A DOZEN, AND THEY ARE INCREDIBLY DISTRACTING. THERE IS NO WAY THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I'VE NEVER HAD A ROCK HIT THE CAR. ITS JUST THE FINE GRANULES THAT COME WITH DRIVING. THIS IS HORRIBLE!
