Your windshield is warped and distorted, causing dizziness, nausea, and migraines when you try to drive. Even after the dealership replaced the original windshield, the new one has the same problem. Because of these symptoms and the visual distortion, you're unable to drive safely and must rely on others for transportation. The windshield will need to be inspected and replaced again, possibly with a different supplier or batch to resolve the underlying defect.

Your rear driver's side window suddenly shattered while driving at highway speed (60 MPH), accompanied by a loud bang. The dealer was unable to diagnose or repair the issue because there were no recalls available for your vehicle. The window may need to be replaced, and the cause of the spontaneous failure should be investigated.

Your windshield appears to have optical distortion that causes dizziness, nausea, and blurred vision when you look through it while driving. The dealer identified magnified and warped areas in the glass. Even after the windshield was replaced once, you experienced the same symptoms with the new windshield. The fix would involve diagnosing the optical quality of the windshield and potentially replacing it again with a properly manufactured unit.
