| Description of the problem | While driving in new york, i suddenly heard a pop, and realized that the windshield cracked at the bottom of the passenger's side. The crack is about 10 inches long, and starts at the very edge of the windshield, going towards the center of the passenger's side of it. There was no impact, no gravel, no rocks hit the windshield. There are no chips, and no place of impact, the crack appeared out of nowhere. Called the dealer, the dealer refused to repair the windshield under warranty, and advised me to call the insurance company. |
