So anyone know if Nissan is going to do anything about this?
Um... no. As Fral659 said, Nissan (nor any other auto maker) will not be issuing a recall for windshield chips. The angle of the window has a lot to do with it. You can order a hood deflector (has to be ordered in from Canada as they don't seem to sell it yet in the US) which helps a bit. Or you could buy the ugly bra we can get in the US here. The hood deflector will have more effect on what hits your windshield than the bra does.

One other thing to keep in mind is following distance. Talk to any auto glass professional and they will all tell you the same. If you follow the 2 to 3 second following distance rule, you will diminish your chances of getting hit with road debris with about 40% to 50%. That is a significant difference...
