The windshield has a huge blurriness that started forming few weeks ago and has expanded across driver's side of view. The blurriness on the windshield severely affects visibility as it makes the driving difficult, especially at night. We are certain and consulted with another person working at another dealership who said that the blurriness can only be caused by defective glue between the two windshield panels. However, the inspection at the AutoNation Buena Park dealership concluded the windshield blurriness to be caused by external factors and not a factory defect. This makes no sense as we cannot touch or influence what's inside the windshield.
Small stone hit front windshield exactly in middle where window wiper sensor attaches and windshield split down the middle in two. Something is defective with these windshields. This is NOT normal to completely split like this.
