| Description of the problem | We bought this car used in july, 2019 with about 40,000 miles. Within two weeks, i had to replace the windshield and have had to replace it two more times since. I don't know what caused the cracking but it made it unsafe to drive each time. It is difficult to say if this happened when the vehicle was moving or not. It was not noticeable until entering the vehicle in the morning, but it could have happened while moving and it just wasn't noticed. We have had to replace the windshield three times in about 14 months. July, 2019, april 2020, and september 2020. |
