Good day,
Please be advised that strange incident took place on 22nd oct 2017 while driving my car on lucknow-aagra expressway.
Incident report:
Car windshield got cracked about 6 inches from bottom corner of passenger seat side while driving my verna crdi-1.6 on agra-lucknow expressway at speed of about 120 kmph.
Car was running smoothly with ac on and all windows were in shut position. For some reason i opened front windows down and suddenly noticed that my windshield got cracked.
Cause:
Primary findings indicate material failure but exact reason of broken glass is still unknown.
In my opinion gush of air entered in to cabin space by opening front windows and sudden change in cabin pressure causes the wind screen cracked. However it is very surprising to note that car has not been passed through quality test and wind screen glass could not able to withstand the air pressure at normal speed. Understand that glass must be tested for quality control.
Damage: 1. Material: glass broken, 2. Human: no injurury
Risk assesment:
I was lucky that no human injury was noticed but cannot rule out the possibility of hitting broken glass pieces to passengers inside cabin.
Conclusion:
Hyundai professionals are requested to attend my car and find the exact reason of broken wind shield glass. Please note that crack is propagating upwards and increased up to 10 inches. It may be dangerous to drive the vehicle in this condition.
Your early response is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Vineet srivastava
