Consumer Description
JUST GOT A NEW CAR IN JAN 2021. WINDSHIELD GOT CHIPPED EASILY. I ALREADY TRIED WITH GLASSES REPAIR KIT SEVERAL TIMES. AND RECENTLY IT GOT CRACKED LINE (AROUND 30CM 90 DEGREE). THE SAME ROUTE TO WORK I DROVE WITH MY OLD 2006 TOYOTA RAV4 AND NEVER GOT ANY CHIP FOR 6 YEARS. UNTIL I GOT THIS NEW 2021 OUTACK, I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD FOR LESS THAN 60 DAYS OF DRIVING. ONE OF MY FRIENDS GOT THE SAME TRIM OF CAR THE SAME MONTH ALSO GO REPLACED WINDSHIELD LAST WEEK. THE ROUTE IS ON HWY880 FROM FREMONT TO SAN JOSE, CA AREA.
