CAR IS 3 MONTHS OLD AND FRONT WINDSHIELD HAS CHIPPED AND CRACKED SIGNIFICANTLY IN SEVERAL SPOTS AT THE FIRST CONTACT WITH ANY DEGREE OF IMPACT(SMALL STONES, SLOW SPEEDS, HIGH SPEEDS, ETC). I NOTICED ABOUT 8 LITTLE CHIPS ALL OVER THE GLASS, INSIDE AND OUT WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH. NOW, THERE IS A HUGE SLIT IN BETWEEN THE PANEL OF THE GLASS AND THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD NOW NEEDS REPLACING. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE QUALITY OF THE GLASS THAT WAS PUT IN THIS VEHICLE. I OWNED A USED 1997 CHRYSLER CIRRUS FOR 6 YEARS PRIOR TO BUYING THIS G6 3 MONTHS AGO, AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED EVEN ONE CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD AND IT WAS DRIVEN UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS FOR THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE CAR. *JB
