| Description of the problem | Windshield cracks extremely easy! Was on the freeway this morning and something small (i didn't even see anything) hit the windshield, wasn't even a loud thud, and the windshield instantly split 6" i have had prior big rocks hit other vehicles, with loud thuds, and just get tiny chip marks that weren't even fillable when i had them examined by a body shop! This sounded as light as a a bug hitting it. It should not have split that easily. This windshield is either thin, or made from some cheap material? For a suv rated as a off road vehicle, that is very dangerous, and they need to do something about it. |
