Windshield OEM Mazda or OEM Hyundai

Mazda 3 3rd gen and cx5 2nd gen here, hundreds of thousands of kms, no chips in the windshield.

My CX-30 just got hit by a sizable rock that flew off a pickup hauling hay on the freeway yesterday and it came out unscathed. I was sure I was about to eat a windshield but the glass was surprisingly durable.

I have this problem in my cx30! I get incredibly nauseous from driving about 15 minutes. After 5 weeks of going back and forth with Mazda, they agreed to replace it under warranty.

My windshield on my 2023 Mazda3 hatchback turbo got cracked from road debris. I had an auto glass company come install a new one, my insurance paid for it. I specifically chose an auto glass company that would use an OEM Mazda windshield which they acquired from a local dealership. Immediately after the install I noticed some problems with the infotainment system. Every so often the screen will go completely black and essentially reset itself while I'm driving. It seemingly happens at random, I have not found any pattern. Although the first time I used the little wheel navigation button thingy after starting the car there is like a 50% change this issue happens. Other than that, it'll just happen randomly while driving. Another issue is the bluetooth connection to my phone now cuts out all the time. This happens even when the black screen / reset does not occur. Also, the wired android auto connection now cuts out all the time. All of these issues started immediately after the new windshield was installed and the sensors/cameras calibrated.

I have a 2018 Elantra GT sport and just had my windshield replaced due to a crack. The installer basically told me the same about my windshield. The windshield wasn't sealed to the car on the driver's side. It seems only the passenger half was sealed properly. I'm going to report this to Hyundai Canada as this is a potential safety hazard for anyone who gets into an accident or it could lead to water leak issues doen the road.

The windshield has already given out on me. It appears as if a rock chip turned into a crack almost instantly and I’m concerned if this is a common occurrence because I saw some others mentioning it. I’m out $800-900 for the repair and another month or two waiting on the windshield as it is on back order. I haven’t seen a windshield crack this easy and I’m scared it will happen again. The car is so new there is no aftermarket options for the windshield so you are forced to go with the OEM option.

I’ve had a Mazda cx-5 2023 for a little over a year, I live in a rural area but drive a little over 30min on the interstate to get to work. I’ve had them repair a tiny crack once, then a giant crack across the bottom during winter when I had the heat on which appeared out of no where after I got off work, got it fixed March 1st. Just now I was driving to work and a baby rock hit it and now I have another crack. I’ve never had this happen with my other cars I’ve had, first time having a Mazda and I have seen so many that have a problem with the thin windshield.

Yep. 22 turbo already has a chip. I bought the dent and windshield repair coverage. Will be calling them soon.

Mines 3 months old and the windscreen has a crack straight through it from a stone getting kicked up on the motorway, the chip in the centre of the crack itself isn't that large or deep.

Yup we got one on our 2023 GT within 3 weeks. Got another one about 5 months later. Seems to be a weak windshield?
