Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I had noticed a 1 wide crack had formed in the center of the windshield after first night of cold weather (~10°F). There was no prior damage to the windshield before the crack formed. I'm concerned that the crack will continue to spread as we progress into the winter in the upper Midwest, ultimately shattering while I'm driving.”

NHTSA complaint #11706066, filed 2025-12

“My windshield had a light crack and it ran pretty easily. It should not have done this so quickly. The crack should have been isolated and given me time to get it repaired before I have to replace the whole windshield. I can feel the break. I wouldn't think with a laminated windshield that all US cars are required to have, that I could actually feel the sharpness of the broken glass.”

NHTSA complaint #11671904, filed 2025-07

“The windshield has chipped and shattered three times in the less than 6 months I have owned it. All times, I was driving at or below the speed limit. A pebble sized rock shattered the windshield and the other two times, it wasn’t even noticeably hit, it just cracked. A windshield that is this fragile is not safe in a brand new vehicle.”

NHTSA complaint #11461425, filed 2022-04

“3 days after receipt of my brand new 2022 Kia telluride I noticed a crack in the top of my winshield. After inspecting there was no visible chip and it started right at the top of the glass. A month the crack took over almost my entire windshield. Disappointed in the quality is an understatement.”

NHTSA complaint #11481410, filed 2022-08

“A small rock hit my windshield on my way to work but did not initially appear to cause damage. Upon arriving at work I made no notice of any visible cracks or damage. Went in to the office, worked 8 hours, proceeding to get in my Telluride, removed my sunshade and noticed about an 18 to 24 long crack in my winshield running right down the middle. It was mindblowing how bad the crack was after a day that was not extremely hot or cold.”
