I have had to replace my windshield from debris twice this year and have a crack filled in today. One small rock can make a crack and usually it takes a while for spidering to occur, but the Hyundai Elantra windshields are so temperature sensitive and must be super thin that over the course of one day in colder (below 50° F) and hotter (above 90° F) spidering occurs in a matter of hours. It is both a huge inconvenience to customers and a safety issue. Hyundai appear to have settled class actions on their faulty windshields in the past so I’m not surprised that this is an issue, but I want more to be done. I know it’s a small problem but to be on my 3rd windshield and only owning the car 1 year being the first owner is a huge problem to me
