| Description of the problem | While heading home from a trip driving down highway 69 in michigan our windshield decided to start cracking. We did not hear any impact with the exception of the occasional bug. Of course taking it to the dealership the immediate response was. A rock or foreign object had impacted the windshield. Wrong. I have always feared when getting hit by a rock the windshield would crack. My wife actually witnessed the cracking process thinking at first it was rain again hitting the windshield. Within 200 miles the crack escalated from a couple inch crack to almost a 2 foot crack starting to make a u-shape around the eye-sight camera system. I would hate to think a bug's impact would cause such damage. |
