1 Windshield problem

Failure Date: 07/30/2004

In October 2003 and July 2004, while driving my car to work each time what appeared to be small rocks/pebbles/stones have struck the windshield of my 2001 Volvo S60 2. 4t in the same general area around the rearview mirror. Both times, the windshield shattered in that region and cracks propagated from the point of impact. This appears to be a stress region in the windshield that cannot withstand impacts by relatively small objects. These two incidents have resulted in the replacement of the windshield each time.

2 Windshield problem

Failure Date: 03/07/2003

The windshield cracked when water was applied to it while washing the car.
