| Description of the problem | Debris from highway and local area driving hit my windshield and damaged it. This happened two times in less than two weeks. First during the week of 9/12/05 and again on 9/27/05 a day after the first damaged windshield was replaced. After reviewing on-line windshield repairs for this vehicle i found out that hummer makes there windshields on a vertical proportion which does not allow for debris/rocks to roll off the windshield any object with force will break the windshield at any given time. I am now afraid to ride in this vehicle one for my safety and two for anyone else who may be in my truck with me. I could be seriously hurt and those on board as well. This is a very serious matter that needs to be addressed to the hummer manufactures asap. I cannot understand why such a high end vehicle was made with a possible death trap windshield. *jb |
