Visibility reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

There are at least three separate chips on windshield caused by very small gravel on different occasions. The windshield should not be chipping so easily. The most recent happened yesterday and immediately spread. The cost of these windshields are pricey due to rain sensors. integrity of windshield seems compromised for whatever manufacturing reason. Recall?

I got in my car to find a 12” long crack in the windshield. Upon inspection, I noticed a small chip in the top black part of the windshield that appears to have caused the crack. I had driven it the previous day and was not aware anything had hit the windshield. It has been extremely cold and the vehicle was exposed to snow. The crack is so large that it impedes the drivers line of sight and cannot be repaired. The windshield needs to be replaced and the ADAS needs recalibration. Clearly the part is faulty or the design is faulty, but this windshield is impacting safe driving.

I purchased my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport in February last year. Approximately two months after purchasing it, my windshield was cracked and it was replaced. Approximately three months after replacing it, a rock hit it while I was driving on the highway and it cracked again. Both times, the crack spread across the whole windshield. My co-worker went to her car at our job, came back into the building and asked me if I knew my car rear window was broken. I went to my vehicle and found my rear window was totally shattered. My supervisor reviewed our video surveillance footage and saw nothing. My rear window just shattered. I replaced it. I filed three auto claims last year with a $500 deductible. My windshield replacement cost's $1,900.00 to $2,100.00 if I pay out of pocket. Today, 03/23/23, I was driving to work, something hit it hard (assuming a rock) and it now has a small chipped hole and a large s shaped crack on it. I will have to replace it again. Can you help with having Ford put better glass (stronger windshield glass) in their vehicles? I'm afraid of having my auto insurance cancelled or not renewed by State Farm for filing too many auto glass claims. I'm waiting for my agent to call me and discuss my concerns.

I was driving on the highway, when I got a small crack in the windshield on the passenger side. When I was able to stop and inspect the vehicle, there a crack about an inch long. A few hours later after I returned home, I went to retrieve something from the car and noticed the crack had spread to about 6 inches long. I called Ford customer service to make a complaint. I called the dealership a couple of days later and the service department informed it would not be covered under warranty if there is any indication it is something other than a stress fracture. They advised I should file it on my insurance. There is a very tiny chip in the windshield. I am concerned because there are many complaints of cracks in the windshield. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. At this time, I have not taken it to the dealership or had it inspected by insurance representatives. the crack is now about 8 inches long

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
