Cracked windshield on a new - 1800 miles, 2014 cx-5 grand touring with smart city brake support system and rain sensor. a crack mysteriously appeared in the front windshield of my car, as it was parked in our driveway. the crack starts at the top center and runs straight down to the rear view mirror and then forms an "s" shape and stops beneath the mirror. as discussions grow on the mazda forum http://www.mazdaforum.com/forum/mazda-cx-5-54/cracked-windshield-2014-cx-5-grand-touring-w-smart-city-brake-support-system-31837/, it is apparent that this is a problem. i wonder if this problem is due to poor factory installation and/or an overall issue with the quality of mazda windshields. at this point, i am concerned about safety issues, especially in an accident or anything that impacts the windshield, such as a rock, with any force. *tr
Within the first 5 days after purchasing this vehicle a small crack appeared in the lower left (driver) side of the windshield which, before we got home, had stretched across three quarters of the entire width of the glass. in order to register the vehicle with the us department of defense to access military installations, we had to have the windshield replaced to competition with safety standards. within five days of replacing the windshield, another crack formed in the same place and extended into the field of view of the driver. *tr
Stone hit windshield near wipers and developed 3 ft crack within 12 hoursafter owning the car only 2 months. replaced it, then 9 months later i get another stone chip on passenger side about 6 inches from edge. it didn't crack until safelite tried to repair. it spread, but crack stayed under the size of a dollar bill. 6 months later it spread after the car sat out in the sun on a hot day. so replaced the windshield again. a few weeks later realize the new windshield is defective - bubbles on the bottom. safelite replaces it under warranty. one month later i get a new stone chip dead center. i'm getting it repaired. let's see if this one spreads. safelite claims chips near windshield edge tend to spread easily. i've never replaced a windshield in any of my previous 3 cars ('71 vw super beetle, '87 acura integra, '98 subaru forester), except the last one after owning it for 14 yrs. it seems to me there is something wrong with the design or make of these windshields. *tr
