Description of the problem | I have had this car for roughly 10 months. It was bought brand new. I have had to replace two windshields in that time. One was cracked in early october 2015 and replaced on november 7, 2015(lengthy due to replacement unavailability). The other happened on december 23,2015 and replaced on december 26,2015 both cracks were due to (what i consider) relatively small stone chips that happened while driving on interstate 90 near north east, pa. I have owned in excess of 15 vehicles in my 44 years of driving. I have never had to replace a windshield in any of the others (yes some repairs were done). I am questioning if the windshields in these cars are being manufactured to the same specifications as in the past and if not do they still meet the current safety standards. |
