Elantra 4-cyl

  • 4,500 miles
I have had two windshields cracks in a 6 week period of time. The diameter of the impact on the initial impact on 11/911 was the size of a pea and left a horizontal crack that was about 12". the second impact, on another brand new windshield, left an impact the size of a pin head and a crack 18" long. I believe these are defective windshields, I did not even hear the impact on the second windshield. By the time I saw the crack and parked my car the crack was almost 6" long.
