Had the car out last evening, parked it in my driveway. Went to bed, dreamed of kittens and butterflies and all sorts of wondrous things.
This evening around 7:00 I get in the car to go out and notice this friggin' crack in my windshield.
Yesterday there was no crack. When I was driving no rock, pebble or anything else hit it.
I got out of the car, looked it over and could see absolutely no impact mark.
Drove it over to my Chevy dealer. They were open late, fortunately. The service guy looked at it and didn't see any impact mark either. Under their better lighting I could see that the vertical part of the crack goes all the way down below the rubber gasket. He thought it was probably defective but of course could not promise me it would be covered under warranty.
The guy told me to bring it in tomorrow and show his service manager to see if he'll warranty it. I suspect he will. They have been really good there.
Back in June I had a defective right front strut mount/bearing assembly

Last Friday the CEL came on for the P05F Active Grill shutter thing. The CEL went off on it's own, thankfully, so no fix necessary (yet?).
Today, cracked windshield.
I absolutely LOVE this car, but I've been spending FAR too much time at the dealership in the 9 months I've owned this car. It's my first GM/American car.
Yes, I expect that the windshield will be warrantied, but GMS's quality control seems to be really, really lacking. A car is the sum of its parts and GM needs to start making sure their suppliers are delivering quality.
Sorry to sound so negative, but this is damned frustrating.
Best,
Rick
