| Description of the problem | While driving my fiat convertible with top down, i suddenly hear a loud pop noise and my rear windshield pop and shatters to many pieces. The car was bought new for less than a year even though it was a 2014 model because it could not be sold the year prior. Send the car in to dealer and fiat chrysler refuse to replace the windshield by denying it was not a manufacturer defect. If there was passengers in the back the shattered glasses could have fallen on them. |
