“Got into my car and closed the door and the windshield cracked, there is no impact point from a rock, it just cracked right before my eyes, it's a crack about 20 inches long, after researching this, I've found thousands of people having the same problem, I've also seen several class action lawsuits filed and won, there needs to be a recall on these windshields. Thank you”

After research, I see several people have the same problem and in the same location. There is NO Rock Chip, NO visual sign of anything hitting the window. My husband said Its a stress fracture. The angle of these windshields does not seem to be a good fit. …”
