Hello, On October 15th, close to 5 pm, I was driving on a busy highway surrounded by other cars when suddenly, the hood of my 2015 Nissan Altima slammed into my windshield. There was damage to the hood, a cracked windshield, the left side wheel was pulling to the side, and there was damage done near the sunroof top of my car. The interior light box inside the car was hanging. My insurance was made aware of the incident. I am a 67-year-old woman. I and others on that highway could have lost our lives. Please get in touch with me asap about this horrific incident. Photos were taken of the damages.

This is the second nissan altima that I've had. A vehicle ifo me will throw a rock and cause my windshield to crack; not chip. Nissan doesn't make good windshields. Both of my vehicles along with multiple people that I know have had the same crack on their altima. Please consider the material they use or the actual windshield to be defective.
The windshield cracked for no good reason. Took it to the dealer where they run a pen down the seam and claim that there's an impact. I'm an engineer and I can attest stress fracture on a glass doesn't guarantee that there's no chip on the edge along the way. This look like a stress fracture, or workmanship defect. The federal safety agency, please investigate this can lead into serious accident if it happens while driving in highway.
