| Description of the problem | I went through two windshields made by honda for this car. I get a chip or crack in the windshield almost monthly. I've also owned a honda element and honda civic. Every single windshield made by honda is exactly the same. The chips are a danger to visibility and to the structural integrity of the windshield during an accident. For the latest windshield, i went to henderson glass and they installed an aftermarket windshield not made by honda. I've had the new windshield for 6 months now and not one single chip for crack. I'm finding blogs all over the internet with hundreds of honda owners all in the same boat. Somebody please do something about honda windshields. There was a class action lawsuit against honda when i owned the honda element. I had sent in receipts for 3 windshields and multiple chip repairs on all of them and was awarded over $1000 from that. But, honda never fixed the problem with the windshields. I bought a new one after that the chips persisted every single month. The chips happen on the expressway, on regular roads, dirt roads and and anywhere and any time the car is in motion. I'm begging someone to do something, please!!!!!! |
