Description of the problem | The windshield continuously accumulates small chips in the road-facing surface of the glass. Some chips from large rocks are to be expected, but there are far, far more small chips than can be accounted for by large rocks hitting the glass. These chips appear to occur when something as small as grit from road sanding (during snow) hits the windshield. This causes a safety issue because the vehicle is equipped with eyesight technology. When sunlight or headlights catch these chips at certain angles, light is reflected towards the eyesight cameras. This causes the eyesight system to suddenly alert that an object may be in front of the vehicle. On at least one occasion, this light reflection occurred for a long enough duration that the car applied the brakes in an effort to stop. |
