I was returning from a trip when I got a small rock chip. I had it filled and everything seemed fine. This morning, when I drove to work, my windshield was fine, but this afternoon, there was an l shaped crack in the bottom middle of my windshield. I am finding that this windshield cracks and chips with great ease. At this point, that crack cannot be "filled," the windshield needs to be replaced.

Windshield cracked at base of window covered by the wiper not where a rock could access it. The crack has since spread across the entire surface of the window. This happened in march of 2010 after having the car for 4 months. I am unwilling to fix due to the other complaints. This should be recalled and replaced with american glass that is not so soft.
