Description of the problem | The windshield on this vehicle is defective in that any minuscule impact has the potential to completely crack it. I have now had two windshields replaced within the last 5 months for presumed impacts that were not even perceptible from within the vehicle. I'm not even certain if the cracks were impact related at all. I purchased the vehicle new and have yet to own it for a year. The windshield on these vehicles seems to literally be susceptible to high speed grains of sand. My first crack completely blocked my field of vision and made the vehicle unsafe to drive. I have other vehicles that are over 10 years old for which i have had no issues with the windshield, and are still driven on the same roads as this 2020 palisade navigates. This is no coincidence, something is wrong with these windshields and someone is going to get hurt unless this is thoroughly reviewed and investigated. |
