Car is a 2012 infinity gx25 and car has only 18,000 miles on it. Both car dealer and goodyear store said they were not responsible.
While driving I-459 southbound, from grants mill rd towards hoover, traveling in the center lane, a rock hit my windshield, causing a crack. This incident happened during the height of the resurfacing project on 459. I am just now reporting this, because I was not aware of this section of your website.
