Nissan Ultima or any nissan product will be my last choice from now on!

Cheap material, poorly manufactured, not reliable, worst dealer and their response.

Following conversation for 2013 nissan Ultima windshield crack ( in 6 months) Me: there's crack on my windshield that came out and expanded over night after second snow fall Dealer: its because there's chip under the hood (below vipers hidden somewhere) in windshield and nissan does not cover (dealer took half hour to figure this out... tried to crack more, pressed hard on cracked windshield all over) Me: how you determined that there's chip and not manufacterer defect Dealer: no reply Me: what if its manufacturer defect? Dealer: if it's manufacturer defect than defect will appear in within 1000 miles driven Me: is there any documentation from manufacturer stating that nissan vehicle starts showing defects within 1000 miles and there after nissan is not responsible. Dealer: No. There's no document available or written inside book Me: done :(

We have a 2013 Altima. My husband washed it (lovebugs!) and put it in the garage on a Friday. I went to drive it Monday morning and there was a 10 inch horizontal crack in the windshield on the passenger's side starting from under the frame and continuing to crack towards the center of the windshield. There were absolutely NO marks or cracks on the outside of the windshield, nothing to indicate we had been hit by anything. We took the car to Nissan to ask if there was a problem with defective windshields. Of course, they claimed they had never heard of such a thing. I took them pages of stories of people having the same complaint and they still claimed it must have been a rock. Now that I've read the stories about people having it happen twice, I'm afraid to have it fixed until they admit what's wrong. certainly seems like a defect in material or installation. VERY UNHAPPY with Nissan!

We had a major snow storm. I went out and started clearing off my car with a snow brush/scraper. I was removing snow from atop the roof back windshield line. I have never had a problem using the scraper section to grab a hold of a chunk of snow and pull it off. I heard a pop/crack my scraper which I wasn't slamming down to remove snow had punctured a hole into the back windshield. The whole windshield spider cracked and started to fall into the car. I had the glass company out to replace, my insurance covered it. Like I said before Ive used this technique on numerous cars ive owned in the past never had a problem. Nor was I being rough.

I bought a new 2013 nissan altima august 31st 2012. Windshiel cracked about 17 inches after being hit by what i take it was a small rock while driving to work the next month. Had windshield replaced two months later with a genuine nissan windshield at a cost of $634.00. There was no aftermarket windshield yet for this vehicle.

Today while driving home today something hit the windshield again and about 2 minutes later cracked it again left ot the rear view mirror . This time the crack opened to about 7 inches vertically.

Either Nissan is making very cheap lighter windshields or it perhaps was installed improperly.

I don't know if a rock hit my windshield or not, but it sounded as if something hit it. After I heard the noise, I noticed a small little chip right in the middle of the windshield but towards the bottom. It was hardly noticeable for about the first three or four days. Then, one morning, my wife was driving our daughter to school, and it cracked the rest of the way. It ended up with a crack that was about 15 inches long. I understand that inconvenient things happen from time to time, but you'd think that windshields would be a bit more durable in this day and age. I have also noticed that other people have had problems with the windshield on Altima's so maybe there is a deeper issue at work.

Driving on an interstate, without a lot of other traffic, I heard a pop from the front of the car, then saw an 18 inch crack on the left front windshield, right in the line of vision of the driver. It did not extend any further. The dealer says he has to look at it to see if it was rock damage (i.e.: not warranty -- at 9000 miles). About 5 days later, we did have a rock hit the windshield in a separate area and leave a star (1 inch). I have been driving for 40 years (15-20K/YEAR) , currently live on a gravel road, and never had such damage -- are the windshields of a significantly lesser quality this year?

Have had the car about three months. I was driving at night and heard a noise that sounded like a rock hit the windshield but couldn't see any chips in the glass. About four days later came out after work and noticed a crack extending from the right lower edge of the windshield toward the center about 12 inches long. I would have chalked it up to bad luck but my daughter has a 2008 Altima and we have replaced one windshield already for a much longer crack and it needs to be replaced again for a similar crack. Seems like more than a coincidence. I've been driving for about 25 years and have never had to replace a windshield until I bought these Altimas. Nissan needs to address this problem.
