Default Passport 8500 X50 Laser Falsing

My Escort Passport 8500 X50 has been falsely picking up LASER nearly everytime I accelerate hard in 2nd (sometimes 3rd) gear. It's becoming very annoying and never used to do this. I did have a pilkington windshield put in a few weeks ago, which is the only thing I can think of (other than maybe it was damaged by the sun? but it's pretty new) Any suggestions/anyone experience this?

I did have a Pilkington replacement not too long ago either. Hmmmm......

Default Same thing here lately...

It has happened 3 times in the last couple weeks, one time when my cell phone was ringing.

No worries... you get false lasers with GM Trailblazers, envoy, etc brake lights.

Default Ahhh

Was thinking about that (laser guided cruise control too) but it's seems to be just very recently happening. Maybe it's cause of the influx of GM vehicles with this employee discount sale, haha.

Make sure your windshield is clean. I used to get that too.
