“Our 2006 Buick rendevous has a windshield that has a distortion present that is distracting while you drive. Dealer said the distortion is in all rendevous because of the laminate used for heads up display (we do not have a hud in the vehicle). If this is the case and all rendevous have this distortion the windshields should be recalled, they present a safety hazard and I'm not sure of their integrity in a crash.”

The manufacturer was not notified. …”
NHTSA complaint #10631607, filed 2014-09, 166,000 miles“The contact owns a 2006 Buick Rendezvous. The contact stated that the side view mirrors on his vehicle were too large and too high. If there was any vehicle within a 12 inch radius, he would not see it when looking out of the passenger side view mirror. The failure almost caused two crashes.
