| Description of the problem | Windshield seemed to spontaneously crack while driving on a residential street at less than 20 mph. I heard a pop, though i did not see anything hit the windshield, and a crack about 22 inches long immediately appeared on the left side of windshield. The crack is about halfway up, and starting on the left edge. Upon inspection there is a very tiny chip, about the size of a poppy seed, near the edge of the windshield, but no other evidence of the windshield being hit with a rock or other object. |
