| Description of the problem | There are 2 issues with the car: 1. The air dynamics of the car makes all small pebels run into the windshield. My car probably caught 10 or more of them. My windshield was replaced twice. There is a bull eye and other small rock-contact incidents 2. Spare tire mounted on the back has a cover that tends to loose if going through the car wash. Took place twice. Imagine the hazard it presents to cars next in line in conveyor belt when the cover falls off right underneath of their cars and there is nothing they can do |
