Side/rear Glass Problems of Chevrolet Equinox

I bought a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox in July of 2010. It had 5,500 miles on it when I started seeing patches of thousands of tiny cracks on the windshield. You could only see them when the car was facing the sun. I washed the car all summer myself, and I was very careful. I took it to the dealer, and he pointed out that it covered the windshield and all the side and back windows. It looks like someone sanded all the windows with a fine sandpaper. He said that he has seen this many times before, but gm will not do anything about it, because they say it is not a defect. They said the cause is frequent washes at touchless car washes, or some mileage. Gm knows they have a problem, because they put out a service bulletin on it. It is #00-08-48-005d. It covers 2011 and prior gm passenger cars and trucks. It says in the bulletin that the repair will require replacing all the glass on the car. When you drive into the sun, the thousands of tiny cracks blind you and sunglasses don't help. They said as a gesture of good will, they will replace the windshield, but none of the other glass. I am stuck with a car with 6500 miles on it with defective window glass that gm says is too bad, but it is not covered under the 3 year or 36,000 mile warranty.

The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Equinox. While driving at approximately 10 mph, the passenger side window made a loud popping noise as it shattered; the window was still intact despite shattering. The dealer called the manufacturer who stated that they had no knowledge of such a failure. The vehicle had been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 12,200. The current mileage was approximately 12,300.

The passenger side window 'imploded' in sept. '07 on my 2005 chevy Equinox for no apparent reason. The glass was repaired ( through car ins. ) and they mentioned (glass doctor) that they've had a lot of glass repairs for Equinox. The repairman mentioned that the 'cable' for the window was loose & that the window would no longer go up or down. I had the windshield replaced a few months prior (defect, also-no visible damage) have been checking on 'recalls' for this, but have not found any. . . Just complaints. Won't drive it unless I have to for fear of exploding glass. My insurance CO. Suggested I file a complaint with the dealership, but it was purchased in la & I am now in GA.
