| Description of the problem | As others have reported, the windshield quality is suspect. Car was only a month old with less than 700 miles when a large horizontal crack appeared on the passenger side of the windshield after the car had been parked in a parking lot. No visible signs or evidence of impact from a foreign source. Have never had anything like this happen in previous cars in over 20 years of driving. What makes matters worse is that an expensive oem windshield (and calibration) is required as a replacement due to the eyesight cameras. |
