Facts:

Devante Grant, a minister, purchased an automobile from Ford Motor Company through a franchisee, Burlington Ford. The car was sold to Grant with a claim that the windshield was shatterproof. After Grant owned the automobile for a month, he was involved in a motor vehicle accident. The accident was a rear end collision that caused Grant's car to be sandwiched between the car that rear-ended his car and the car that stopped in front of him. The windshield shattered and Grant was covered in glass, which cut his face and arms and his right eye. Grant lost the use of his right eye and was left with scars on his arms and face.
