Example complaints

“I got in my car to find a 12” long crack in the windshield. Upon inspection, I noticed a small chip in the top black part of the windshield that appears to have caused the crack. I had driven it the previous day and was not aware anything had hit the windshield. It has been extremely cold and the vehicle was exposed to snow. The crack is so large that it impedes the drivers line of sight and cannot be repaired. The windshield needs to be replaced and the ADAS needs recalibration. Clearly the part is faulty or the design is faulty, but this windshield is impacting safe driving.”

When I was able to stop and inspect the vehicle, there a crack about an inch long. A few hours later after I returned home, I went to retrieve something from the car and noticed the crack had spread to about 6 inches long. I called Ford customer service to make a complaint. I called the dealership a couple of days later and the service department informed it would not be covered under warranty if there is any indication it is something other than a stress fracture. …”

Approximately three months after replacing it, a rock hit it while I was driving on the highway and it cracked again. Both times, the crack spread across the whole windshield.

My supervisor reviewed our video surveillance footage and saw nothing. …”
