This is the fifth windshield (including the one I bought with the car) I am on with my 2017 honda crv. Every january/february it seems my car's windshield "cracks" for unknown reasons. I have been driving my same commute for ten years. Never in those years have I had to replace my windshield on other cars. Since getting my honda, I have had to replace it! These cracks take place after the vehicle has been parked and when the temperature changes. This is causing multiple insurance claims as a result- impacting my insurance. I'm also fearful of my children's and my safety due to these random cracks. I do not trust my windshield in case of an accident. I'm actually considering trading this vehicle in because of this issue. Honda needs to do something now.. Tonight was actually the fifth time this happened after I parked my vehicle (after actually having my honda serviced).

It was a record hot day, 100 degrees, and my cr-v was parked in my paved driveway, in the sun. I was watering my outdoor plants (not washing my car, our well water would only leave white spots on it) and waved the hose over my car and "pop!"- the front windshield cracked in two different places, both are large cracks, 10 and 18 inches. This was due, I believe, to the cool water on the hot windshield. I believe the car is now unsafe to drive as the cracks are so prominent and I question the windshield's integrity.

Faulty windshield glass. My vehicle's windshield cracked due to what appears to be weak oem windshield. When I turned on my vehicle defrost a slight crack appeared which continued on to spread along the bottom, near the defroster. A google search shows multiple complaints about 2017 windshield cracking for a myriad of reasons that don't have to do with an accident. The honda dealership where the vehicle was purchased refuses to replace the windshield unless I pay over a $1000. Now, in order to avoid my insurance going up, I will have to pay over $500 to safelite to replace it. Again this is not an isolated issue.
