| No apparent or known events or causes leading to failure. no rock chips or dings at origin site at upper edge of windshield where failure began.*ak my windshield was in good condition when last driven with no visible breaks. the next time i drove it, the windshield had begun to crack from top edge in fromt of the driver's seat and had extended approximately 8 inchess. after parking the car, i marked the spot at the end of the crack. the next day the crack had extended another 3 inches with no driving or movement involved. the crack is now approximately 2 feet in total length. i have not had time to have it fixed due to no local dealers or glass repair shops. however, i am currently planning a trip to lubbock (100 miles one way) to have it replaced as well as answer a vehicle recall i recently received. if the windshield needs to be kept available, i will need to know soon so i can notify my dealer. | |||
