| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a new 2006 scion xb purchased in september 2006. first cracked windshield occurred on 11/09/06; at 7am , temperature 65-68 degrees, i turned on the heat-low- to get fog off the windshield, took out the thrash and came back to the car and found a nine inch crack from left side under rubber bending toward the right into my line of sight. no objects have hit my windshield and dealer could find no impact point. toyota replaced windshield under warranty. today, 12/20/06, i turned on the heat-specifically kept it low-to clear fog again (70 degrees outside). drove 0.2 mile and noticed a new crack coming from under the rubber at the top center near the rear view mirror. nothing has hit this second windshield. found many internet blogs about scion xb windshields cracking while they just sit in peoples' garage. this appears to be a design flaw. i request a recall on this flimsy windshield. please tell me what can be done about this. i am sure another windshield will not fix the real problem--this is a safety hazard and getting the repair causes me to lose work time. *nm |
