Consumer Description

WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A CRACK WHICH STARTS AT THE BASE OF THE WINDOW BELOW THE PLASTIC MOLDING AND IS CONTINUING TO GROW LARGER. DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NO DEFECT WITH THE WINDOW, AND THE PROBABLE CAUSE IS A PEBBLE STRIKING THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN THE CRACK WAS INITIALLY NOTICED IT WAS ABOUT 3 IN. IN LENGTH. IT HAS GROWN CLOSE TO 6 IN.. THE WINDSHIELD OF A 2+ MONTH OLD CAR CANNOT DEVELOP A 6 IN CRACK FROM A LITTLE PEBBLE WITHOUT THERE BEING A STRESS FRACTURE OF SOME KIND WITH IN THE ORIGINAL GLASS. FURTHERMORE THE CRACK STARTS AT THE BASE OF THE WINDSHIELD FURTHER SUGGESTING A DEFECT. INTEND TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
