Description of the problem | I purchased this vehicle about a month ago. Driving home, 2 1/2 hours away from where i purchased it, the sun was hitting my front windshield. I noticed tremendous amounts of tiny shiny particles all over the windshield. It was very distracting and hazardous!!! I checked the following day and the entire windows have the same thing. I was told by the dealership that it's normal. I have had 3 other ford vehicles in the past 4 years and never had this problem. It is very very hazardous to me and i think that they should not be making windows like this and they should recall and replace these. I am paying alot of money for this vehicle and deserve to be happy and be able feel completely safe driving it. |
