| Description of the problem | Only after 3 weeks of driving, the windshield developed a crack starting at the center of the dashboard and spreading up and to the drivers side. There was no impact or object that impacted the windshield that caused this crack. It seemed to occur in response to the heat being lowered in the car during a very cold night (around 28f ). The crack has rapidly spread to about 2 feet in three days. |
