Description of the problem | On february 3, 2014 while driving on i-95 a stone flew up off the road and cracked the windshield. Had the windshield repaired by safelite. On march 12, 2014 the same thing happened a second time on a different stretch of i-95. Had safelite repair the windshield. This morning april 6, 2014 again on i-95 and the windshield got cracked for a third time. Have driven for 53 years with only one cracked windshield previously and have had three within 62 days!!! Greatly concerned that anything larger than a small pebble may cause the entire windshield to disintegrate while driving at 70 mph on the interstate. Will take to ford dealer tomorrow or tuesday for them to examine. |
