Example complaints

“While driving over average bumpy road I heard a loud pop and noticed a tiny crack in bottom of windshield. This crack continued to cover the whole windshield. I took the SUV to a very well respected windshield repair shop and after their exam gave me 2 possible reasons for this failure. #1 reason insufficient strength of the glass. It is very thin for a windshield (ford windshield recall) unable to handle the stress of normal and expected road surface conditions. #2 improper installation . This windshield was not struck with any object.”

There was no other vehicle in close proximity and it didn't seem that any object hit the glass prior to being shattered. There was some bruises on the drivers arm from shattered glass. Went directly to tustin Nissan service department who stated the glass not covered by warranty, no matter what happens. While still in the dealer, I called Nissan customer service and reported the incident. Nissan rep said that it is not possible for the glass to shatter. …”
