| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: i have a 2004 scion xb . i bought it new in march '04. i recently found out that the xb has a design flaw. the size of the windshield and the stress points cause cracking very easily. it turns out the toyota bb in japan had this problem but it wasn't considered a big problem. the bb is the scion xb here in america . according to scion,they know this is a design flaw and are going to change some of its design in the '08 model. they are not very concerned about how we owners feel on this subject. there are many forums out there with many scion owners complaining about these windshields. many have had to replace them 3-4 times. i think toyota has dropped the ball and i feel really angry. i bought this car because of the reputation and my experience with toyota products. now i feel left out. they need to recall these cars. they are unsafe. *jb |
