My dad works for gm. My parents bought this car brand new in 1994, immediately, there was a manufacturing defect in the windshield that caused visual problems. The windshield was replaced by the dealership at no charge. Later, the windshield cracked from bottom left across to the right. It was replaced again for no charge. My parents were actually told it may crack again. I now own the car and have had it for 2 years. The windshield started cracking again from the lower left corner for no particular reason . The cracks have grown over the last 2 years, but I can still see fine because of my height, it isn't obstructing. My problem is, I got pulled over and was told I have to either have the windshield replaced, get rid of the car ( which it still runs well), or pay a fine. I don't think I should be responsible for something that is clearly a manufacturer defect.
