During a summer storm several years ago with changes in pressure my windshield cracked from the seam about 4 to 5 inches out from the passenger side. The vehicle was parked in a drive way. There is no damage as though it was hit. It was simply parked one night and the crack was visible the next day. Since then, it is almost 3/4 of the way to the driver side right at eye level. There is now a second crack following another storm with pressure changes, starting at the seam as well just above the rear view mirror that goes down 2 to 3 inches and then goes to the passenger side approximately 4 to 5 inches. I have contacted chrysler and they refuse to acknowledge this could be a manufacturing issue although research shows previous recalls on pt cruiser windshields for the same reason of improper installation.

The windshield on this vehicle cracked for no apparent reason. The crack started at the bottom, just left of center. The crack ran up the windshield for about 3 inches, then turned 90 degrees to the right. Over the course of the next few weeks, the crack ran all the way to the right a-pillar. It bears mentioning that the crack started while the vehicle was in my driveway. The car hadn't even been started yet. I've seen many mentions on-line of pt cruiser's with problems identical to mine, and my neighbor's pt also has this same crack. When I took it to the chrysler dealer, they denied any knowledge of an issue with pt windshields, and denied my repair request under warranty, even though the vehicle was still covered by chrysler's 36/36 bumper-to-bumper warranty. When I called chrysler customer care, they agreed, after a great deal of wrangling, to fix my windshield if I paid a $100.00 deductible. I did, reluctantly, because here in texas, a vehicle will not pass a safety inspection with a cracked windshield. It's obvious that chrysler has an ongoing safety issue with the pt cruiser windshields. It also seems obvious that chrysler has their head buried in the sand. Chrysler needs to be forced to deal with the pt cruiser windshield issue in a proper manner, before it causes injury or worse.
