| Description of the problem | I have had my jeep commander since late 2005 and i have had to replace the one time, but it will need to be replace for the second time since it has two major cracks on the lower part of the windshield both going in separate directions from the lower center of the windshield, an i believe it was a good i have waited to replace my windshield because driving into work today, another crack formed after being hit by a rock. This crack is on the driving side of the windshield and it quickly spread about 6 inches from the initial crack. I am concerned about this flaw in the windshield design and/or craftsmanship on the windshield (weak). I have noticed on quite a few forums this a very common occurrence with many if not all owners, and this should be carefully reviewed since this is a safety hazard which will occur quite often if no proper solution is found! |
