windshield problems?
I just bought my new 2012 sedan last Monday. I really want to love it, I do, but I can't see out of the windshield!! I have changed my contact lens prescription, bought new glasses, worn my old ones, adjusted my seats, etc - but I get sick looking out of it! I thought I was nuts until my 7 yr old son noticed it, too. I googled this problem and see that some people seemed to have an issue with the 2011 (?) Optimas. Is anyone else having this issue?

Please be patient with me - if this has been a problem and there is a previous post about it, I apologize - I searched for it, but my head hurts so much from my drive in, that its hard for me to concentrate on the screen.

RE: windshield problems?
It's no doubt defective. I bought a car 12 years ago that made me sick to drive. I took a day to look real close at the glass and it was delaminated. Windshields are made up of a flexible film sandwiched between two pieces of glass. I took it to the dealer and it was replaced under warranty.

RE: windshield problems?
another case of defective windshield?

I remember, in singapore, there were lot of forte cars having some CRACK RIGHT LOWER PORTION of the windshield with no reason at all.

Finally, its a factory defective windshield and its under warranty item.

If you born poor,its not your mistake....But if you die poor, its your mistake.....

If for some reason they won't replace it for free just crack it with a shovel. Insurance should cover it. ;-)
