Cracked Windshield Club

[Idlethunder]

I'm a member as of about 8 am this morning. Had driven 20 miles with heater / defrost on and 24 degrees outside. Watched the crack happen while parked as I opened the door. It started at lower edge in front of steering wheel and comes up a few inches then turns toward passenger side and runs approx another 6". I made it about 10,800 miles before getting first one on the Gladiator and I'm kind of proud about that

Congrats… you’re now one of us.

We bought Tank in August of 2022. Brand new. This January when temps dropped it happened. The centerline crack. So ticked about this. Working with the dealership to file a warranty claim. Have been reading a lot of different forums about this issue. Cold weather + high defrost = centerline crack.
More people need to contact Jeep and complain about this. Customer service said if it is turned in enough. It could be recalled.
Sorry we paid over 55k for Tank. This is crazy. Hubby had several wranglers and never had this issue before.

Like I said in the Gorilla Glass thread at 20k miles....I almost made it a full year with my Gorilla Glass with a few minor impacts it held up. Got cut off by a TRD Tundra a couple of days ago and it threw a huge rock right into the center of my view it started to run almost immediately.

Glad I got the $0 deductible windshield replacement. Insurance said I might be out of pocket for Gorilla Glass replacement for additional charges costs. If they come back with that...I'll just get regular glass and they can pay for multiple replacements.
