Description of the problem | Hello, my windshield broke about 6 months after purchasing the vehicle. I don't know how or why. It was just broken one morning when i went out to my car. I figured a rock or something hit it. There was no recall at the time and so i had it replaced with a oem windshield. My second windshield just broke a couple of weeks ago while changing my wipers you can see where the ceramic wiper heater delaminated inside of the windshield. It turned bright red. I have owned alot of cars and never seen a windshield that is so fragile. I have changed many, many wiper blades and i know what a quality windshield is. I set the wiper blade holder down on the windshield gently and it cracked, the crack grew across the windshield in a day or so. Ridiculous. These windshields run about 500 bucks and should be better quality. I also have electrical problems where my car clock will not set... Currently. It took them 3 years to figure out the steering retaining pin was broken even though i was complaining about it since i bought the car. The rear gate stopped opening and they had to replace the struts on a 3 year old car. There is something wrong with the front end but my dealer said "wait until it gets worse" can you believe that? Thanks, |
