Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My reason for writing is my car was struck in the windshield by a rock requiring replacement of the windshield. After the windshield was replaced, I noticed under conditions of bright light such as a sunny day, I could not see clearly through it because of significant reflections off of the dashboard. See photo number 1. I did bring this to the attention of the Chevrolet dealer who replaced the windshield, and the glass company that supplied the windshield. They both agreed the reflections seemed unusual, but stated the aftermarket replacement met the appropriate glass standards. …”
