What owners say
A large crack in the windshield appeared out of nowhere. There was no injury to the windshield, no damage from a rock, etc. I got in my car one day after work and a large crack had appeared. I viewed company footage to see if something damaged my car, and there was nothing found. The crack appeared as a malfunction of defect of the car.
My 2021 Bronco Sport has a stress crack in the windshield and it is very concerning because on the Facebook forum, I am seeing tons of Bronco Sport owners having the same issue. Some owners are on their 2nd to 4th windshield. Ford is not taking responsibility for this issue and is having owners submit to their auto insurance. I’m very concerned for the safety and integrity of the windshields that are being put in these vehicles. I’m getting mine replaced but how can I trust that it won’t happen again. I’m very scared that it will shatter while driving.
The windshield developed a crack down the center of the windshield starting at the top of the glass. There is no apparent indication that crack is due to an object hitting it.
Windshield cracked 15 days after purchase. There was no sign of any damage that could have caused the crack. Also, with lane keep assist vehicle will steer entirely into other lane without any correction from the safety system
