| Description of the problem | The front windshield cracked from the inside from the pressure of my passengers foot. The passenger is a 130lb female with no extraordinary physical capability. The crack spread quickly and placed all the occupants in danger. There was zero impact on the outside of the glass. The crack could not be felt from the outside of the glass, only from the inside. This was the second time this has occurred. The first time the dealer stated that it must have been a coincidence that the windshield cracked at the spot at which my passengers toe was and at the very same time upon pushing to scoot back in the seat. Considering i have witnessed this exact safety hazard twice within a year raises my concern and the reason i am now reporting it. |
