Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The windshield on my 2003 honda element cracked in the center rising up from the bottom edge. the crash is 18" long approx. the dealer said it was from a rock and not covered. the "rock" chip is barely visible. it's more like a tiny pit from a piece of sand. i believe the element has a design flaw which causes cracks from the flexing of the frame or cheap glass. *jb
