My windshield cracked thr entire length of windshield. Upon I spection neither my husband nor I could find a chip which would have been the root cause of the crack. I am unsure when I noticed the crack, I believe it was when I got in my car to go to work one morning.

problem #2

Ascent

  • 5,200 miles
There are so my small pits and chips in my windshield. I have less than 6000 miles on the car, and owned if for less than 6 months. I noticed the first chip in the first week of ownership but thought it was bad luck. Since then I am facing well over a dozen, and they are incredibly distracting. There is no way this is normal wear and tear. I've never had a rock hit the car. Its just the fine granules that come with driving. This is horrible!

problem #1

Dec 082019

Ascent

  • 900 miles
I purchased my Ascent on November 29, 2019. By December 8, I had two cracks in the windshield. I live in a small town, and was driving less than 45mph when both of these chips occurred. One was (according to safelite) too small to repair. The other one was repaired on 12/10. By January 2, the crack that was repaired has reappeared. Safelite does not guarantee their work, and now I will have to spend a fortune and use my deductible to replace the windshield on a brand new vehicle.
