20050927VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD

DEBRIS FROM HIGHWAY AND LOCAL AREA DRIVING HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND DAMAGED IT. THIS HAPPENED TWO TIMES IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS. FIRST DURING THE WEEK OF 9/12/05 AND AGAIN ON 9/27/05 A DAY AFTER THE FIRST DAMAGED WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED. AFTER REVIEWING ON-LINE WINDSHIELD REPAIRS FOR THIS VEHICLE I FOUND OUT THAT HUMMER MAKES THERE WINDSHIELDS ON A VERTICAL PROPORTION WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW FOR DEBRIS/ROCKS TO ROLL OFF THE WINDSHIELD ANY OBJECT WITH FORCE WILL BREAK THE WINDSHIELD AT ANY GIVEN TIME. I AM NOW AFRAID TO RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE ONE FOR MY SAFETY AND TWO FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO MAY BE IN MY TRUCK WITH ME. I COULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT AND THOSE ON BOARD AS WELL. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO THE HUMMER MANUFACTURES ASAP. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY SUCH A HIGH END VEHICLE WAS MADE WITH A POSSIBLE DEATH TRAP WINDSHIELD. *JB
