Description of the problem | Was driving my car in an ice storm when the windshield cracked with nothing hitting it. I was told it was a stress fracture caused by the heat on the windshield. I took the car to the dealer who said gm says the problem is rare and that it will not be covered. I feel that if heat from a defroster can damage these windshields this is a serious safety issue with the windshields. The dealer advised that at least four other vehicles with same problem came it that week. |
