“Had a small rock hit the windshield while driving on the interstate in traffic. My speed was maybe 50 MPH. The impact created a very small mark on the windshield. Within 5 minutes, a crack formed that was about 3 inches long. By the end of the day, the crack was over a foot long. I never even had a chance to get the windshield fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #11337836, filed 2020-07, 3,300 miles“Car has less than 2000 miles and windshield has cracked. I was going 55mph ok a highway and an extremely small pebble hit the windshield causing it to crack. I have owned numerous Hyundai's before and never had an issue with the windshield cracking. The windshield being extremely delicate is a known issue that is easily google-able.”
NHTSA complaint #11344182, filed 2020-08, 1,720 miles“Was drive on the expressway at 55mph and something struck the windshield. A small chip was on the glass. I called my insurance company and they sent safelite glass to repair the chip. After trying to repair the chip a large crack developed and now the windshield has to be replaced. The windshield is not safe in my opinion. A small chip should not cause the windshield to be replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #11408113, filed 2021-04, 7,904 miles“My windshield cracked two weeks ago on 9/6/2020, while I was changing the windshield wiper blades on the lower passenger side. The crack stretched from the passenger side to just past the center of the windshield. I had it replaced four days ago on 9/11/2020, and it is cracked again starting in the same area with no known cause.”
NHTSA complaint #11355161, filed 2020-09, 5,087 miles“Suv has less than 4k miles driving down a 35 MPH road front windshield cracked. Its been about a month and a half and still no answer on when I will get the SUV back. Called corporate they said it was my fault I did not take it to the dealer. I did call the dealer when it happened and they said they do not replace windshields. So why would I take it to the dealer if do not replace it?”
