The night before and morning of we had snow (01/26/2015-01/27/2015). I went out to my Jeep, cleaned it off, started it up, turned the defroster, put it in drive, and a 8 inch crack appeared on the lower part of the windshield. The crack started right above the windshield frame then ran parallel above the defrost vents.

I was driving my 2013 Jeep Wrangler and the wiper was iced up so I turned the defroster on high and my windshield cracked. There were no vehicles on the road with me and nothing hit my windshield. The crack is about 6 inches long running laterally toward the driver side and originated right above the right defroster vent the crack has no external ridge and appears to be related to a body stress issue. The temperature was 20 degrees and the issue occurred at 3:20 pm.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. While driving approximately 60 mph, the temperature control knob was adjusted but it failed to respond and the vents began to blow extremely hot air. As a result, the windshield fractured and the cigarette lighter fuse blew out. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the temperature gauge, the windshield and the fuse needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. In addition, the contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated and both the front driver and passenger side windows became inoperable. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 14V631000 (electrical system, visibility). The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 13,000.

While driving from olympia wa. To marysville wa. I turned on the vehicle defroster and my windshield cracked. There is a small rock impact toward the bottom of the windshield and the crack extends from there. The nearest dealership is trying to sell me a $650 or more replacement windshield which will not crack and the Chrysler Corp will not return E-mails or assist over the phone. I believe they are using substandard windshields which will crack upon first impact where other vehicles will not. It poses as a safety issue limiting visibility due to not being able to run my defroster. When the defroster is run the crack expands. Being in the military I personally can not afford to replace my windshield every time something bounces off of it.

3 months after purchasing my brand new Jeep I received a crack in the windshield at a speed of 40 mph city driving. I think it was a small stone by the sound of impact. One month after that my Jeep being 4 months old, I received another crack in the windshield while freeway driving at a speed of 60 mph, again I think a small stone hit the windshield by the sound of impact. A month later and 5 months old I received another crack in the windshield while city driving at a speed of 45 mph, again I think a small stone hit the windshield by the sound of impact. My Jeep mileage on the final crack at 5 months was 8,400 miles. I have only heard 3 stones hit my windshield, with each impact my windshield was cracked. These cracks are severe with minimal impact and obstruct visibility. There is an obvious issue with the quality of the glass/windshield in my Jeep. I have owned many vehicles without receiving one cracked windshield under the exact driving conditions over an average 5 year vehicle ownership. I cannot afford or be expected to replace a windshield every month and therefore this issue is a major safety concern.
