Has anybody else had or know of this issue? At about eye level sitting in the drivers seat you can see a blurred line in the windshield, normal driving you really don't notice but once you do you can see it a lot more often lol does anyone think that'd be covered under warranty?

Stuff like this can vary from vehicle to vehicle and is usually a result of the laminated safety glass distorting at either time of manufacture or over time with excessive heat cycling.

Being you are now 5 model years old on the vehicle, I doubt you have any warranty left to cover it as it would fall under the bumper to bumper warranty part.

Only fix is replacement but I would advise making a judgment call if the current one is really a true annoyance or something you only notice if you purposely look for it and can live with it. If you decide of replacement, get good a know good quality windshield replacement like PPG or safelite.

I noticed a mention of Safelite. I do not recommend Safelite. My resent experience was the reason. I requested a price for OEM /OME and was given a price. I asked"is that factory or aftermarket?
Oh that's aftermarket, factory is going to be 200-250 more. (O really?[emoji857])
I asked for non aftermarket price, again. It was just over 20$ more.
Well your insurance won't pay that.. ( I wasn't sure if I was going through my insurance) I asked for a specific price and was given another, that bothered me.
Then the appointment screw up. So I told them to screw it.
My rear window was changed with a Genuine MOPAR rear window by an independent for less than "Factory and the Safelite aftermarket quote. It was done at my house in less than 2 hours. Safelite wanted it for a day.

unless you have an extended warranty, i doubt it will be covered by chrysler. worth a try though.

That's kind of my thoughts, I do have the factory 100,000 mile power train warranty until July next year, although I don't believe I have an extended warranty. I'll give the dealership a call next week and check it out. Figured I'd see if anyone else has this issue with a resolvement or not.

It is a safety issue mention that every time you talk about the issue to all , if the dealer is a no go call your insurance company ask them if they will cover with genuine factory glass replacement
