| Description of the problem | I've only recently learned of the spontaneous windshield cracking issue that is in litigation. This happened to me. I was stopped, waiting at a light near the intersection of washington and the entrance to i-70 in denver. Suddenly, the windshield loudly popped and a large crack appeared on the passenger side which has since progressed in many different directions. I spoke to the dealership and they offered no assistance. I've not yet had it replaced as i'd learned of this lawsuit, but no definitive progress has been made, i'm reporting it here. I do not have a picture, but will update this post later, if possible. |
