| Description of the problem | There is a design problem with the front windshield. In the last three weeks i have gotten three hits to the windshield while driving on the expressway. All three were below the wiper line. The first one resulted in an immediate crack which wa s now a foot long. Before i had a chance to repair that i received another stone hit. This one also cracked immediately, and was about 8" long. This third hit happened this morning and could have been very dangerous. The hit was again below the wiper blade ,but this time the windshield shattered and blew small glass pieces inside the vehicle. If it would have been 6 more inches to the left i would have gotten hit in the face. As it was i got hit in the arm, and had glass dust and shards all over the dashboard and passenger seat. I am scared to drive this vehicle now.*ak |
