| Description of the problem | We bought the vehicle in december 2018. Since then we have had the windshield crack on us twice. The first crack developed 3 months after the date of the purchase. We noticed the crack after getting back into the vehicle while it was parked outside. The second crack appeared in october 2019. The second crack developed while driving on the highway. It was early in the morning and there were no other vehicles in front of me. I was driving and hit a small bump in the road. Immediately right after i notice the crack develop.
