| Car was purchased on 11-29-02. windshield replaced on 6-3-03. three months later on 9-23-03, windshiled needed to be repaired. around 4-03, another crack appeared. i contacted the honda corporate office where they sent me to the dealership to have the windshiled checked. their claim was that it was a stone that cracked it. obviously something hit the windshield. however i do not believe that a windshield should receive damage that easily. this is the first car i have ever had where the windshield had to be replaced. at the moment, there are two sealed cracks and eventually the windshield will need to be replaced again. each time this occurs, it cost me $100.00 out of pocket. i am afraid that if i keep claiming on my insurance, my rates will go up. i have family and friends that travel the same roads as i do and their cars windshields don't get damaged. *ak | |||
