Description of the problem | I am the 2nd owner and have only owned it for 10 months. I have frequently heard cracking/popping noises while driving, but no other traffic near, and no damage to windshield. This morning, i got in the truck and noticed a very large crack in the windshield. As i haven't ever hit a rock in this truck, i was very curious. Upon closer inspection, there is zero evidence of any external factors that would have caused such a large and spontaneous crack to appear while i was in bed sleeping last night. To be fair, i haven't reported it to a dealer yet since i just found the crack this morning, but that will be my next step, although i'm highly pessimistic that they will be willing to do anything about (what appears in my opinion to be) a defective windshield. My very first search on the internet led me to many many other consumers who have reported the same problems (mysterious crack/pop sounds when no other traffic is around, or driving slowly, and sudden/spontaneous cracks with no associated damage to the glass. To be clear, this crack appeard over night while i was sleeping! |
