| Description of the problem | Windshield cracked from a small pebble after having the car for 5 days. I was driving on a city street, traveling less than 40 mph when a pebble hit the driver's side edge of the windshield. The windshield should be able to withstand pebbles being thrown up from the road. This should be addressed by the manufacturer. I cannot believe that this windshield cannot handle debris hitting it. No divots or pitting in the windshield, just an immediate crack that grows. Very disapppointed with this vehicle's windshield. |
