Consumer Description
The Windshield cracked for no apparent reason. The crack starts from the bottom of the windshield and spreading upwards. I have been reading that this is a common problem with all land rover defenders. I filed an insurance claim to replace the windshield through Safelight which is going to cost me $500 deductible. I do not understand why this problem is not being addressed by Land Rover and why there has not been a major recall for this issue. I'm sure that this is going to happen again after replacement. It is very sad to purchase such an expensive vehicle and the windshield breaks after just a couple weeks of ownership. I know I have to get it replaced because it will only spread and I won't be able to see the road when I'm driving.
