Element LX 2.4L 4

  • Manual transmission
  • 153,000 miles

Was driving on the highway at about 8:30 in the morning about 2 months after purchasing the vehicle used. The previous owners had replaced the windshield right before I bought it and thought nothing of it. My windshield, without impact, split completely across one side of it to the other side, a complete solid crack. After reading online I discovered it was a common problem for this vehicle and it would crack uncontrollably, for no reason. There was a class action lawsuit for this issues, for this year. Honda, despite all of that, insisted I pay for it in full.
