The windsheild easily cracks. Less than 1000 miles and it cracked.

Within a week of taking delivery of my car after purchase the lower right corner of my windshield developed a 16" crack. To my knowledge, my windshield had not been struck by any object and I had only driven it 300 miles since picking it up. The crack is a safety issue as it limits or inhibits visibility through the windshield.

Car was traveling down the road at 45 miles an hour. The windshield cracked under normal driving conditions. Living in Iowa this would fall under the class action.
