| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: A stress crack appeared in the windshield of my 2004 honda element. crack began from below the plastic molding and below the left windshield wiper. there was no impact point from a rock or other object. dealer attempted to blame it on a small chip in the area of the crack--chip was 1/2 mm in diameter and 1/4 of a mm in depth. i have numerous small chips like this and none have caused a crack. the dealer at first claimed the crack was caused by the small chip. after i pointed out other chips and also talked about the 2003 service bulletin and current lawsuit, the manager called the honda rep. the honda rep said they would replace it as a one time good will gesture--thus, relieving themselves of any liability. *jb |
