Description of the problem | I have an issue with the glass quality/design. In the first two weeks (5/13/19) my right passenger window cracked. I did hear a very slight sound (like a water bottle expanding) but didn't see anything. Within an hour, the crack occurred. There was a very small 'ding' but continued to break. I repaired it with my insurance. On 7/16 i parked at work as usual. When i returned to my car, my front windshield had a 6-7 inch crack. I could not see an impact site. The crack is up around 10 high and now splitting to the left across. We were able to see what amounts to a 'scratch' to the touch. It is no larger than the tip of a sharp pencil. I understand debris hitting glass may render a crack, but to this degree seems to be a bigger issue i am very concerned about the quality and do not understand why i have had these two issues with very little impact to the glass. In previous cars i have had huge rocks hit and ended up with scratched/dinged glass. Without shatters, cracks. I researched many websites and dealers and i am seeing this is a common issue. |
