    I purchased crystal fusion to protect my vehicles windshield. The product failed to work as advertised and the company refuses to stand by their warranty citing a previously undisclosed 72 hour claims reporting requirement. I reviewed the warranty as provided at point of sale and the 72 hour window was never disclosed. Regardless, the product failed to work as advertised.

    Unfortunately, the customer information that relates to the claim number provided does not match the complainant. We are not able to provide further information as a security measure.

    We suggest contacting the originating dealership for a copy of the warranty.

    I purchased this warranty as a guarantee against a cracked windshield. A rock hit my windshield and they are denying to repair. They stated since I did not call within 72 hours they will not cover the damage. It does not state that anywhere on my paperwork. I an a nurse and work 12 hour shifts and did not have a chance to call until today.

    The Crystal Fusion windshield warranty includes terms and conditions as do all warranties.

    We have attached a copy of the terms and conditions part of the warranty which was not provided by the customer. The 72 hour condition is highlighted in two places.

    We apologize for any confusion.

     This was never provided to me or I would have said it occurred yesterday as I did not realize there was a 72 hour condition. The windshield being cracked 72 hours ago or a year ago should not matter as the condition is still cracked no matter the time it occurred. This company is out to scam people out of money or they would not put a 72 hour limit or they would require the company to provide that information.

    I paid over $1000 for this glass protection and was told theyd replace a rock chilled window if it couldnt be repaired. I purchased this through ***** ****** ** in ********. I tried to reach the vendor the day the rock chip happened, they bounced me around and never gave me the name of the Company or Information on who to call. Weeks of trying to figure out who this service is through and how to fix my windshield went by and they kept giving me the runaround and voicemail. Finally got the name and phone number and they said its been over 72 hours so they wont refund my money or fix my windshield. I want a refund or my windshield fixed.

    The contact information for Crystal Fusion is stated in bold on the front side of the warranty, as well as on the reverse side with complete instructions on what course of action to take upon damage occurring to a windshield. Please see attached.

    I was convinced/upsold to purchase Crystal Fusion by the ********** of *********** to protect what was said to be a "very complicated windshield" due to it's replacement costs. They sold me on the fact that no matter how many times I submitted a claim it would be either repaired to like new, or replaced. In January of 2023 I had a very small chip so I submitted a claim and it was replaced with no questions asked. I then had the ** film reapplied to the new windshield the very next day by Land Rover of ******** again. Then in December of 2024 I got yet another chip, this time 2 to 3 times larger than the first. First I was told by ** that they never received the document that was supposed to be submitted by ********** following the reapplication, but luckily I had demanded a copy at the time. I submitted my second claims photos along with this missing document, and after three follow-ups with ** I finally got an authorization for a "chip repair" and was told I needed to take it to Five Star Auto Glass. The second the representative from the glass company looked at the "chip" she laughed, and then told me that they could fill it and hopefully prevent the cracks from spreading, but that it would remain just as visible and not "like new" as I was originally sold. I agreed to follow through with the repair as ** had directed, only to end up with the exact results the representative had explained I would have. When I reached back out to ** claims specialist **** she replied, "*****, I received your email, according to your warranty it is a chip repair under 6 inches of size, any damage over this size is a replacement." Then she sent a second email stating, "I found the pictures from the first claim in January of '23 and it was half of the size." If this is what I was truly paying for, they should have sold it to me as 1 free windshield replacement!

    Business Response

    The Crystal Fusion warranty is a repair/replacement warranty. Meaning, if the damage is repairable and not in the direct sight of the driver, it will be repaired if the damage is less than the size of a quarter. If the repair fails ,and causes a crack at any time, the windshield would be replaced under the warranty. Other damage as explained in the warranty would constitute a full replacement according to the warranty terms and conditions. 

    In this scenario, the damage was less than the size of a quarter and repaired according to the terms and conditions of the warranty.

    The windshield will remain covered under the warranty for the term of the contract with unlimited repairs and/or replacements according to the terms and conditions of the warranty.

    Unlike most windshield warranties, this warranty does not have any limits on the number of repairs or replacements for the life of the warranty.

    Crystal Fusion refused to accept a claim for a windshield chip because of a rule that is buried in paperwork for when I bought the car. I submitted the claim to the dealer, where i bought the coverage. The dealer correctly sent me the form to complete. I completed Crystal Fusion form. They denied it because they stated it was more than 72 hours from the occurrence. I called them and explained what happened. They refused to honor the policy.

    Business Response

    Crystal Fusion's warranty includes Terms and Conditions which must be met in order for a claim to be approved. These Terms and Conditions are clearly stated on the reverse side of the warranty with all other pertinent information.

    The Crystal Fusion warranty is registered in every state and scrutinized before approvals are granted.

    We know the frustration when a claim is denied, however we must follow the Terms and Conditions noted.

    The warranty does still remain active once the damage has been repaired and proof submitted to Crystal Fusion as explained to the customer.

    I purchased the windshield warranty coverage from Crystal ***** when I purchase my vehicle in January of 2023 from Young ****** In October of 2023, I received damage to my vehicle and called both the dealership and then Crystal Fusion to report the claim. Crystal Fusion stated I did not have an account even though I have the paperwork with the information on it that I clearly paid for it. I then called the dealership back to get a resolution to the matter. I have spoken with several people from the dealership over the past 7.5 months and still do not have a resolution. I am not certain of where the fault lies at this point if it is with the dealership or Crystal Fusion.

    Business Response

    We are sorry to hear of this issue. 

    Upon checking further, we verified that there is not an active warranty in our system under your name. 

    Crystal Fusion manufacturers the windshield product, and in some instances is not the administrator of the warranty. therefore, I would suggest reviewing the warranty cover page for the correct administrator which should be located near the bottom of the warranty and also on the reverse side. This should also include a phone number for that administrator to assist with your warranty.

    If you continue to face issues, please feel free to contact us and/or send us a copy of your warranty for assistance.

    When we purchased our vehicle last year, the finance department talked us in to purchasing a windshield warranty, which we did purchase. We own two businesses so we have a fleet of cars plus our personal vehicles. We purchased this warranty on two of our vehicles for one of our business fleets. We called in to file a warranty claimed on one of our vehicles that has a cracked windshield. Again, we have multiple vehicles that have recently cracked windshields. Some of them have a warranty some of them do not. I called in to file a claim on one of the vehicles, the operator taking my phone call asked when the windshield was cracked. I miss spoke and was giving her a description of our personal vehicle that is not covered under this warranty. When I realized I miss spoke I gave her the correct information. The operator denied our warranty claim. They said they cannot change any information that they put in the system. This was on the same phone call though. This was not a different phone call. I did not call back and try to give them a different date this was during the same phone call. Again, on the same phone call I miss spoke about one of our multiple vehicles that we have and then corrected myself on the same phone call and gave her the correct dates the incident happened and they still would not honor their warranty that we purchased.

    Business Response

    The Crystal Fusion Warranty includes terms and conditions as all warranties are required to have.

    One of the conditions is as follows: "Claims must be filed within 72 hours of the occurrence of damage"

    When asked when the damage occurred, the response was: "This happened a few weeks ago." Unfortunately, this does not fall within the parameters of the warranty terms and conditions.

    The call had to be terminated due to the use of foul and abusive language toward the CSR.

    filed a claim 8-29-23 from damage occurring on 8-27-23 . filing out the claim form i made a typo on date of damage so now the claim is denied on those grounds, upon contact and explaining my mistake they still denied. meanwhile a second occurance happened that damaged windshield and was reported within minutes of damage now it is denied because they say i need to replace windshield out of pocket because of previous damage that they would not pay for....

    Business Response

    Date: 08/31/2023

    Please refer to the terms and conditions of the warranty. Claims must be filed within 72 hours of damage occurring. The claim in question was called in to Crystal Fusion on 8/29/2023. Customer stated damage occurred on 8/23/2023, which falls outside the 72-hour window. Customer was advised at that time to have the windshield repaired and the Crystal Fusion application re-applied (as stated in the terms and conditions) in order for future claims to be covered. Spoke to customer again on 8/30/2023 where he claimed additional damage occurred on 8/27/2023. This claim could not be approved as the original damage was not repaired as a requirement in the terms and conditions of the warranty.

    Purchased warranty with Crystal Fusion in 2/22/23 for $1000. While on the interstate we heard a thud on the windshield 5/31/23. Upon initial inspection no visual damage was noted. Car was parked in the garage for the weekend as we were out of town for a graduation. Upon our return on 6/5/23 we noticed a chip in the windshield in an inconspicuous location. It is in the black boarder area by the vin # on the bottom on the windshield that is not visible from inside the vehicle. We immediately filed a claim online with Crystal Fusion. Our claim was denied as the claim was not filed within 72 hours. Claim was filed within 5 days of damage. ***** was denied as it was outside of 72 hour window.

    Business Response

    Date: 06/23/2023

    Based on the terms and conditions of the warranty, this claim was denied for failure to report the claim in the designated time frame. Subsequently, we have attempted to reach out to the customer to assist in some type of resolution. t this time we are waiting on the customer to respond back to us.

    On Sunday May 28th I was driving down to ******* for an emergency situation. My son had just lost a baby. On our way down, a rock hit our windshield, immediately causing a chip and 30 minutes later a crack that began to spread halfway acorss the windshild. Upon my return to Indiana the following Sunday, I called my dealership and emailed them (service ***** about how to file a claim under my warrantly with Crystal Fusion. The email I recieved back stated I needed to contact the finance ***** I called on Monday and was tranfered around to several different departments and today finally received the phone number for Crystal Fusion. I explained the sitution as was rudely told my claim would not be covered due to it needed to be reported within 72 hours. I tried to explain the situation for late reporting and was again rudely told that it clearly states this on the contract and nothing they could do, no exceptions! I tried to reason, saying, what happened if I had died or was seriously injured and could not report the claim within this 72 hours and asked what the reason was for the ********************************************* had died, she think I would have more serious things to worry about (which is kind of my point). She stated that the reason for the 72 hours reporting as that this helps because small chips which can be repaired right away will sometimes prevent future damage. Although I agree with this, small chips is normally covered for free under your compehensive damage (no dedcutible) and therefor you would not need to purchase a warrantly to cover it. Warranty coverage is purchased for crack windshields where you need to cover your deductible (in my case $750). Waste of money to purchase a warranty that will not cover a crack windshield unless you report within 72 hours. Would like this covered or would like my money returend for this uselesss warranty.

    Business Response

    Date: 06/06/2023

    The terms and conditions of the warranty are clearly stated on the reverse of the warranty. Crystal Fusion is registered in all states with the ********** of ********* and Secretary of State to be sure that compliance is always followed. In this instance, the customer called outside the 72 hours where the claim must be filed, therefore the claim was denied.

    Based on the customer's additional information stated here regarding the death of her son's baby, we first offer our sincere condolences, and wish to reverse the decision.

    Our Claims supervisor will contact the customer today.
