| Description of the problem | My car is always garage parked. After coming into the garage the next morning to enter my vehicle, i noticed a crack in my windshield starting from the middle top edge and curling down to the left. Its about 14 inches long. It has spontaneously appeared on its own, and after having done some online internet research, i've discovered many other nissan owners complaints on the very same problem. It appears that maybe nissan had or is still using a vendor with defective windshields. I need to have it replaced but as of now, i cannot afford to. If and when i can, i will not have it replaced with another nissan dealer windshield. Please advise. |
