EVER SINCE I PURCHASED BY 2011 HONDA ACCORD CROSSTOUR THE WINDSHIELD HAS HAD PROBLEMS: IT SCRATCHES EASILY AND IT FINALLY CRACKED AFTER A VERY SMALL ROCK STRUCK IT. IT SEEMS TO CHIP LIKE A DRINKING GLASS WOULD RATHER THAN A WINDSHIELD. I THINK THE WINDSHIELD GLASS IS UNSAFE AND NOT TO STANDARDS. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE SALESMAN LAMENTED ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH HONDA WINDSHIELDS AND I SHOULD HAVE RECONSIDERED THE PURCHASE THEN. I HAVE OWNED TWO OTHER HONDA VEHICLES AND NEVER HAD THE PROBLEMS THAT I DO WITH THIS CAR. I AM REPLACING THE GLASS (I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT) WITHIN A MONTH AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOMEONE TEST IT TO SEE IF IT MEETS REGULATIONS. THE DEALER INTENDS TO DISCARD IT OTHERWISE. *TR
