3-5-08, in morning, when I got into my Element, I noticed two long cracks in the windshield, starting at the lower right- and left-hand corners, traveling upwards at an angle, toward the center, approx 15 inches long, each. I called the Honda dealer, and they said I should check my warranty. I did. Windshield damage not covered. I called Honda motor company. They tried to tell me it was not a design defect (as I believed). After telling them I knew of many reports to the NHTSA, they finally agreed to replace the windshield, as "...a one-time goodwill gesture." (I bit my tongue, as I knew that the phone rep knew it was, in fact, a design flaw.)

Windshield cracked after using defroster. Honda dealer in albany, NY said it was cracked due to a tiny nick in the glass resulting from a stone.
