| Description of the problem | Dt*: the contact stated on two separate occasions, the windshield cracked without any impact. The dealer replaced the windshield and identified the frame of the windshield as defective, causing the cracks.

The right side of the windshield popped out in addition to about 30 cracks and shatters on the right side. The dealer inspected the vehicle and agreed it was a manufacturing defect, but since the vehicle was no longer under warranty they couldn't repair it free of charge.
