July 2024 Injury

We purchased our 2021 telluride november 14th and less than 24 hours later a chip appeared or was minor beyond something we recognized when we purchased it since it was dark when we left the dealership on the front windshield and within seconds escalated to a full blown crack greater than 6 inches when we were turning down a road where there were no other vehicles or outside influences around.

Reported at 100 miles, November 2020
