| Description of the problem | Nissan altima 2013, 50,000 miles. Has a cracked windshield. I have seen many reports of other owners that have the same problem. This should be investigated and a recall should be acquired since it is a safety concern. If there's a car accident and the air bags deploy with a crack windshield the air back may not deploy correctly. The vehicle had been stationary for a couple months. Crack appeared all of a sudden. I do not recall a hard impact by a rock or other similar debris. The car had not been driven in the freeway. |
