TWO MONTHS AGO, AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR, I HEARD A NOISE. AT FIRST, I DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING DIFFERENT UNTIL I THEN GLANCED AT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS A CRACK STARTING FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD TO ABOUT A 1/3 DOWN. IT HAS SLOWLY BEEN GETTING LONGER AND IS NOW HALFWAY TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO EXAMINE THE CRACK, THERE IS NO SIGN OF A ROCK OR ANY OTHER ITEM HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. MY INSURANCE WILL ONLY COVER IT AFTER I PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE (WHICH IS MORE THAN A NEW WINDSHIELD WOULD COST ME). *TR

THIS HAS TO DO WITH FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKING. OUR WINDSHIELD HAS SEVERAL CRACKS FROM A COUPLE OF MINOR HITS BY WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER SMALL PEBBLES. SEVERAL CRACKS HAVE FORMED AND THEY ARE NOW JOINING TOGETHER. I HAVE READ ON LINE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE CAR'S AND THEREFORE MAY BE A DEFECT. *TR
