| Description of the problem | I bought the car as a dealer car (they told me it was registered to a manager as a test car). It had 4,810 miles when i bought it. I have driven the car just over 300 miles. When i test drive it, it made a sound like a stone hit the windshield. Then almost every time i have driven it since, including three times today, it made the same exact sound. I was driving both in city traffic (red light to red light) and on a toll road with limited traffic. When i got out and looked at the windshield, i noticed literally 50 or more small "chips" in the windshield. |
