Example complaints

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

“I was going to visit a friend in lancaster sc when I noticed a crack in the windshield. This crack appeared and nothing had failed on it. It starts at the bottom, just slightly to the passenger side from center and it goes upward about 7 -8 , then goes towards the driver's side for an additional 12 -15 . There was nothing that fell on it when it was noticed. It appears to be either a manufacturing defect or a crack which has resulted from something shifting on the vehicle.”
