GM DM TY for the chuckle, Glad your OK Maybe you hit the ONE pothole we have in town hahaha
If Dorthy did hit a pothole and it did cause the glass to shatter, this would be considered an at-fault situation (Texas is an at-fault state) which means that her insurance rates will be affected (goes up) if she does file a collision claim. Insurance companies consider pot holes as avoidable hazards of the road. I would imagine that Dorthy has a $500 deductible which is the most popular amongst drivers. If she does pay out of pocket, I doubt the cost of repair would not exceed the deductible even if it's $250, making it futile to file a claim. She could always sue the city of Houston for not filling up the pothole but she would have to have evidence that she did indeed hit a pothole which caused the damage to her window.

Remember, they only want to sell you a car. Not fix it.
Plenty of dealerships have service centers and collision centers under the same roof. It wouldn't be difficult to have Dorthy's car fixed at the place where she bought the vehicle. Dealerships and car manufacturers alike want to differentiate from the competitors through service because reliability and quality have gone down by the wayside in the last few years. But then again Houston isn't known for great service.

If that does not help, then apply for lemon law car protection.


You need to read up on Texas Lemon Law.

So sorry, DM. That's scary!

It could very well be a rock propelled at just the right speed and angle. You might look under your seats for a deceptively small pebble. Happened to me a few years back with my Honda Accord. My insurance deductible was high, didn't have anything to do with warranty or recalls, and I had to shell out for a new passenger window.

If you are finding a history of this complaint, however, be prepared to stand your ground, and get your insurance agent involved to pressure the dealership. I would think that the cost of fixing one lousy window on a new car would be minimal compared to losing a customer's good will.

The window that exploded was my drivers door window and I wasn't near cars because I was by the shoulder on the beltway in traffic.. I kept the large piece of glass for proof that I wasn't lying and also printed out the complaints on the internet... The first 5 people I spoke to didnt believe me but then I finally talked to someone who has seen it before.. They put me in a rental and fixed my windshield after about 3 hours of going round in. round... I was cut & bleeding but im okay it could have been really bad & thankfully I was ok.. But there alot of complaints on this on the internet its kinda suprising.. Thanks everyone

There was absolutely no rock chip on the window so they had no choice but to believe me..
