ON A COLD DAY, MY HUSBAND WAS SITTING IN HIS 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE DEFROSTERS ON. HE HEARD A POP AND SAW THE WINDSHIELD CRACK FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING AND NOTHING HAD HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THERE HAD NOT BEEN A CHIP OR CRACK BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON.I CALLED CHRYSLER TO REPORT THE INCIDENT. THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT THE SAME THING HAD HAPPENED TO HER. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, WHICH I DID. AFTER 6 DAYS OF GIVING ME THE RUNAROUND, CHRYSLER SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY.I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND SAW THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD JUST HAD A JEEP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THE PREVIOUS WEEK. A SECOND SERVICE REP AT CHRYSLER HAD TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. *TR
