| Description of the problem | The windshields are made with poor quality glass. When you get a chip it spreads beyond repair in a day. I bought my vehicle brand new in nov. Of 2016,in jan 2017 had the windshields replaced. Got another rock chip last month and the windshield has to be replaced. I have only had this car 10 months and will be on my 3rd windshield. I have owned vehicles 32 yrs and never had to replace windshields this much. Rock chips don't normally spread quickly like they do on the renegades. I thought it was just me but renegade owners all over the u. S. Are experiencing the same problem. Someone is gonna have to die for jeep to realize this problem. No car should need 3 windshields in 10 months. |
