The windshield has an optical distortion, characterized by "waviness" and "rippling. " this condition is not merely a cosmetic imperfection; it is a safety hazard that causes visual impairment, and dizziness while driving. This defect compromises my ability to perceive distances and hazards accurately, especially when looking through the passenger side while making turns or looking for hazards. Current status of the issue as reported online documented reports indicate that GMC dealers are aware of these "warped windshields" and that the issue appears to be a systemic quality control failure in the 2026 model year. • safety risk: this distortion constitutes a safety-related defect as defined by the national highway traffic safety administration (NHTSA), as it interferes with the driver's primary field of vision. •failure of prior remedies: I am aware that many owners have undergone multiple replacements only to have the same defect reoccur, suggesting that current replacement stock may also be compromised.
