The wind shields on these vehicles are cracking in abundance. My Bronco wind shield cracked on the passenger side from the edge across the window. No rock hit it. I just came out one morning and it was cracked. I've read many complaints on line from owners having this problem. Now you can't get new wind shields because there have been so many issues, they are on back order. I tried to contact Ford but they referred me to you. I do not believe this is normal.

While driving on interstate I noticed what seemed to be small gravel (sand like) hitting the vehicle. Then I heard the sound of the window cracking across from the lower drivers side to the center of the window. I never noticed anything striking the window. After stopping in a safe area I could see on the outside that something small had struck it. The windshield has been replaced by my insurance company and One week later I have already received one small chip. As with most people my age I’ve had numerous vehicles and have only had one other vehicle with a windshield that was as easily damaged and that would be a Jeep TJ. Many other people have been complaining on line about the same issue. Like Jeep Ford should be replacing the windshield with a better product.

I live in northern Indiana where humidity is high in the summer. We often have nights with a low temperature in the 60s to low 70s, with heavy dew, and sometimes fog. I park the Bronco in the garage overnight, and the windows are clear in the morning. I go to work before sunrise. With the climate control (With: Manual Temperature Control) set for no, or low heat, and outside air, everything is fine till about 10 minutes into the drive. The air conditioner turns on (with no indication that it is on, except the ice cold air coming out of the vents). Then the windshield starts to fog up on the outside because of the high humidity outside and a cold windshield. There is now way to turn off the air conditioner, except to turn off the climate control. I have tried turning up the temperature control to compensate, only to have the air conditioner turn off after several minutes, then I get hot air, and it is a never-ending task to try to control this as the temperature from the vents goes up and down. When the windshield fogs up on the outside, the wipers can;t effectively clear it. This hassle is also distracting to the driver. I know of no reason to have a humidity sensor turn on the air conditioner. This was verified by the dealer that the humidity sensor is what is turning on the AC.

Windshield is too thin and is prone to cracking very quickly. The windshield needs to be made out of thicker glass.

Had a rock hit my windshield in the lower left corner. It immediately started to crack approx 8". The next morning it grew to about 18+". I have heard that the glass used is thinner than most. I feel this is a major concern to the consumers as if any little thing may crack these windshields and have the customer shell out more money to have them replaced everytime. I feel safety is a factor as well, causing possible shattering, etc. Car is scheduled for a safelite replacement.

Stress fracture in windshield while it was sitting in a parking lot all day. Cameras on premises verified nothing hit the car.
