Consumer Description

I OWN A 2006 SCION XB AND I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD OF THE CAR AFTER A 6 INCH CRACK APPEARED IN IT INSTANTLY AND THEN DEVELOPED INTO A 12 INCH CRACK BY THE NEXT MORNING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SIGN OF TRAUMA THAT WOULD CAUSE A CRACK AND THE GUY TOOK A PEN AND RAN IT UP THE CRACK AND SAID THERE WAS A CHIP THAT CAUSED THIS CRACK. THE "CHIP" IN NO WAY SHOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS DAMAGE SEEING AS THE CAR WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP ON FRIDAY AND THEY DID NOT DETECT ANY FLAWS IN THE GLASS AND FOR THIS "CHIP" TO HAVE HAPPENED WITHIN THE NEXT TWO DAYS AND LEAD TO A CRACK IS UNHEARD OF AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED CHIPS IN OTHER WINDSHIELDS AND THEY LEAD TO NO SUCH DAMAGE IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. *NM
