Description of the problem | Since purchasing my 2017 honda pilot in september 2017, i have had to replace two windshields due to rocks kicked up by other vehicles. On a third occasion, another rock created a minor crack and chip in the windshield. The first incident that required replacing the windshield occurred on september 8, 2017, while driving southbound on u. S. 75 in richardson, tx, near the george bush freeway. The second incident requiring windshield replacement occurred on november 21, 2017, while driving southbound on u. S. Highway 297 near vernon, tx. The latest incident that resulted in minor damage occurred on december 22, 2017, while driving northbound on u. S. Highway 75 in richardson, tx, near galatyn parkway. This 2017 honda pilot is the second honda pilot i have owned/leased, and the prior vehicle incurred no glass damage driving the same route over a three-year period. The other honda vehicles, accords, were driven on the same general route since 2008, with no windshield damage. I am concerned that honda may have reduced the thickness or quality of the windshield glass or other materials used in the windshield, or made a design change affecting the windshield. Windshield damage can be a serious safety hazard reducing visibility while driving. |
