| Description of the problem | I have driven my car infrequently if at all for the past few weeks as the country has been sheltering at home - this is probably the least amount of stress any car has ever been put under. The last time i used my car was over a week ago and otherwise it's been sitting in my apartment's small, outdoor parking lot doing nothing at all. Weather for the last week has been extremely moderate in the high 60s fahrenheit and no wind at all. Then i went out to my car to look for something and instead found a giant crack extending across half my windshield and curving down under the bottom "sealed" edge. This has to be a manufacturer issue as i haven't even used it. Even before the current immobility, with a 7 minute suburban commute there really wasn't much going on with a car supposedly built for tough conditions. |
