| Description of the problem | In the beginning of december, while driving down the highway at about 58 mph, an oncoming car threw a rock up and chipped our windshield. We had this chip repaired by our insurance company. A week or so later, another rock was thrown up and chipped our windshield again while going around 55 mph. In the beginning of february while leaving our house, about 2 minutes into the drive, our passenger side windshield cracked. (about a 12+ inch crack.) on our way home that day another rock was thrown and chipped that windshield while going around 55 mph. We contacted the insurance company and had that windshield replaced because it could not be repaired. Now about 3 weeks later, another rock was thrown up and chipped our brand new windshield going 60 mph. I have looked up other commander reviews and see that this is a common problem with this vehicle. This is a safety concern and quite an inconvenience for commander owners and something needs to be done. |
