SIX MONTHS AGO I NOTICED A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK WAS NOTICED HOURS AFTER CAR WAS PARKED. TWO DAYS AGO ANOTHER CRACK APPEARED ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. BOTH CRACKS ARE SIMILAR IN NATURE, AND BOTH ARE NEAR THE SIDE COLUMNS AT ABOUT 9.5 INCHES FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DISMISSED ANY WINDSHIELD MANUFACTURING, OR STRESS POINT DEFECTS DUE TO CHIPS ON THE GLASS. ESCALATION TO 1800-JAGUAR WAS NOT USEFUL, AS THEY ONLY THING THEY DID WAS ACT AS A MEDIATOR TO THE DEALER, INSTEAD OF CONCERNED WITH THE REASONS BEHIND THE CRACKED GLASS. *LA

VEHICLE FAILURE DUE TO FAILED WIRE STRANDS. ADD TO VOQ 10041323.*MR OF SEVEN STRANDS IT APPEARED THAT FOUR OR FIVE MAY HAVE BEEN "TRIMMED" DURING MANUFACTURING PROCESS LEAVING TWO OR THREE STRANDS TO CARRY THE CURRENT. ADJACENT WIRES SHOW DAMAGE FROM HEAT. ON TWO WIRES THE INSULATION IS CRACKED SUFFICIENTLY SO THAT THE WIRE STRANDS ARE VISIBLE.
