Consumer Description

Windshield made a sound that sounded like it was hit by a rock or pebble, yet no car was around for a rock or pebble to cause it to fly through the air. The windshield cracked at around the edge of the windshield and within a couple of minutes, the crack extended to around 12 inches. After an hour, the crack extended to across the majority of the windshield. This is the 3rd windshield that had to be replaced. Either the windshield has extensive stresses or it's manufactured too weak and can cause a safety hazard.
