Windshield problems of the 2007 Jeep Commander

I have a 2007 Jeep Commander. I live in virginia. The temperature has been in the 30's. With no apparent cause (no rock hitting or anything), my windshield started with a tiny hairline crack (bottom middle) and in a couple days, the cracked line became "l-shaped" and moving left. It was about 8 inches in length. I believe there is a design flaw in the windshield since nothing happened other than the cold temperature and my perhaps my use of the vehicle's defrost.

Hvac and defrost directs cold air onto windshield while sending 175 degree fahrenheit hot air to bottom vents air is not mixing properly. Jeep dealer will not make repair, saying "this is how hvac works". Due to cold air blowing from the defroster on windshield, windshield builds up with ice and snow, and does not defrost properly.

2007 Jeep Commander windshields are flawed, and crack easily. Spreading across the whole windshield. I have had to have the windshield replaced once shortly after I purchased it in April 08, and 1/2 year later both sides have cracks in it. I believe the design or curve may be too 'fragile' for safety, not to mention my budget!.

2007 Jeep Commander windshield easily chipped twice during the year of 2008. Not cracked yet, but will have to replace eventually. I did not realize that other Commander owners had experienced same until reading online forum. This seems to be a design flaw.

I own a 2007 Jeep Commander. A small rock hit my windshield and the glass breakage spread quickly across to the middle of the entire shield. This small rock would only have maybe been a tiny nick on any other vehicle windshield. This is extremely dangerous and if you look at the edmunds forum for this problem, everyone with a Jeep Commander has this problem and has been unable to get Chrysler to do anything about it. It is a design flaw and poor quality of windshield. Some people have replaced as many as 4 windshields each year of the Commander ownership. I had only driven my Jeep approximately 1000 miles when it happened. The replacement is $500. 00 and I know that it will crack again when replaced. Due to the danger in the glass, I would like your help in getting something done about this problem. Thank you. Jan harper.

Vehicle has less than 3,000 miles on it and already have a rock chip in front windshield. Happened when roads were clear and no gravel on road. Have seen message boards of other owners who state their front windshields are prone to chips as well.

Windshield started cracking from top edge on passenger side, about 5 inches from the side, for no apparent reason. No evidence of a chip and no rock hit the windshield as far as we know. This happened on a rental car so it's possible that the crack was already started when we picked up the car and we didn't see it - there's a small portion of the glass that is black at the top so we wouldn't have been able to see the crack in this area if it was already there. The crack spread down a couple of inches from the black area and then started across the windshield.

I just leased a 2007 Jeep cherokee in March of '07. And, it drives wonderfully! however, I've noticed a few (glitches) concerns lately with this vehicle. I have major leaks in my side rails right above the dashboard when it rains. I believe this is because of how the insulation was done on the actual roof as well as the doors. I've also noticed my passenger window sticking while lowering the window or raising the window. And, my windshield seems to be glistening now -- I'm thinking that those glistening small cracks will truly turn into major problems long-term! I am currently leasing and was seriously deciding to purchase this vehicle. But, with my concerns listed I'm not sure how long this Jeep Commander will last me financially. Hopefully these problems will be recalled and maybe my decision to purchase will change. I'm sure that these problems are not just affecting me. We'll see what happens. Hopefully you can help! have a nice day!!.

There is a design problem with the front windshield. In the last three weeks I have gotten three hits to the windshield while driving on the expressway. All three were below the wiper line. The first one resulted in an immediate crack which wa s now a foot long. Before I had a chance to repair that I received another stone hit. This one also cracked immediately, and was about 8" long. This third hit happened this morning and could have been very dangerous. The hit was again below the wiper blade ,but this time the windshield shattered and blew small glass pieces inside the vehicle. If it would have been 6 more inches to the left I would have gotten hit in the face. As it was I got hit in the arm, and had glass dust and shards all over the dashboard and passenger seat. I am scared to drive this vehicle now.

While driving on the freeway, my vehicle was struck with a pebble which caused it to chip. Days later, the entire windshield was cracked. The dealership looked at it, took pictures, submitted it to determine whether they would replace it due to defect, etc. I was told by several automotive professionals that the situation was odd. I never heard back from the dealership, and after several attempts of trying to contact them, was told they were still waiting. Months had passed and I still never got anywhere with Chrysler so I replaced the windshield out of pocket in Nov. 2007. Since then I have 2 new stone chips and a 3rd that resulted in the same splintering crack across the entire windshield. The same has recently happened to my 2008 Dodge avenger when a small chip splintered in 5 different directions. In all the years I have been driving and all the vehicles my husband and I have owned I have never had even a chip in a windshield, even while living on a gravel road. Is this just bad luck or is Chrysler to blame for cheap/faulty parts? I have seen many service bulletins on your website regarding this as well.

Jeep Commander 2006, I have replaced my front windshield 2 times in 4 months. My truck is 5 months old and has had 3 windshields!.
