Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This is the 3rd cracked windshield for my 2003 honda element. none of the cracks were caused by anything hitting the windshield, they just appeared and all in the same place. the cracks have been located on the passenger side, beginning where the windshield meets the body of the vehicle, go straight up about 6 inches and then hook to the right (as you face the vehicle). the first and third cracked windshields the dealer wouldl not replace because there is a small pit the size of a pin head towards the bottom of the crack (although nothing struck the windshield) but the 2nd one they did replace because the pit did not appear. they called it a "stress crack". the dates of the windshield replacements are 12/3/03, 7/15/04, and 9/14/04. *ak
