Consumer Description

For the second time in 3 months my windshield was hit by a small pebble and developed a large crack that requires replacement of the windshield. Of all my years of driving I have never had a windshield crack due to a rock on the highway. As mentioned above this is the 2nd time in 3 months. Based on the numerous reports of similar incidents it appears that the Land Rover Defender windshields are defective and/or not safe.
