Versa Note

  • CVT transmission
  • 4,000 miles

At only 4000 miles I already needed to replace my windshield. Not covered under Nissan warranty. Car insurance did, otherwise would be $500-$600 for generic. or $1100+ if You want Nissan brand, which will break again anyways. Started at the middle top and reached 6inchs long in 2 weeks. Been a few months and no issues with generic brand window.

typical factory stress crack caused by defective windshield

Apparently, the 2015 Nissan Versa Note has done nothing about an issue that was prevalent in the prior 2014 model. Cheap glass or poor engineering is the cause of repeat factory stress cracks in windshields, and confirms the issue as that of "defective product". Almost all vehicle manufacturers and dealers will replace windshield glass caused by factory stress cracks, but not Nissan.

I literally started the car and the windshield popped and cracked. That's all it takes. After some research, I found out that some Nissan customers have had their windshields crack the day after driving their new car home! Makes me wonder what other trivial part of my car is next?

My own vehicle has about 6,600 miles on the odometer, was purchased about 6 months ago, and is within standard warranty as well as extended warranty and neither will cover the defective glass. Further research indicates that even "Platinum Warranties" and "Ultimate Platinum Warranties" will not cover defective glass.

The dealership refused to replace my windshield, and claimed it was damaged by a flying pebble. When the mechanic tried to support his claim, he pointed at the spot where the crack had branched out in two places, saying if I really felt it with my hand, I could feel where a small pebble probably hit it (I didn't feel anything compelling). So let me get this straight, if I sell you a television that shatters when small insects land on the screen and then that (not surprisingly) happens to you and I refuse to make amends that's okay? I don't think so. So either way, rock or no rock it's just not right, and it's beyond annoying.
