Since this was the second time I had to replace the windshield in 14 months, and I haven't had the vehicle 2 years, yet it was even more annoying and caused me to wonder if something in the design of the windshield, or possibly the material used to make the windshield is faulty. Maybe it's just bad luck! As I mentioned in my previous complaint, I always take special care to stay back at least 500 ft. behind a dump truck and I don't tailgate anyone, especially a big truck.

Just as in the other incident, the chip occurred up near the top of the windshield in the shaded area, so I didn't even notice it until a few hours later when the crack had extended down into my view.

Again, I hesitate saying this is Honda's fault, but I have a hard time believing this just coincidence.

My main reason for registering this complaint is to see if I'm the only one who seems to be having a problem with windshield damage on a Honda Pilot. At $1400 a pop for a new windshield, I don't know if I'll replace it the next time.

Naturally, it was annoying and somewhat heartbreaking to have a damaged windshield when the vehicle was only 8 months old. I always take special care to stay back at least 500 ft. behind a dump truck, or if there are empty lanes to allow it, pass the truck as soon as possible. Likewise I don't ever tailgate anyone, especially a big truck. It seemed like the rock or whatever chipped the windshield came out of nowhere. The closest vehicle in front of me was probably 300-400 ft. ahead of me.

The chip occurred up near the top of the windshield in the shaded area, so I didn't even notice it until a few days later when the crack had extended down into my view.

I hesitate saying this is Honda's fault because I don't know what they could do to prevent this, other than make the windshields out of a more durable material.
