Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SMALL ROCKS HIT MY FJ'S WINDSHIELD, TWO OF THEM LEAVING A CHIP/CRACK. ONE WAS WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE OTHER ON MY WAY HOME IN 45 MPH TRAFFIC. AS A RESULT, I NOW HAVE A HUGE CRACK THAT STRETCHES FROM ONE SIDE OF THE WINDOW TO THE OTHER! I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR THAT HAD CRACKED GLASS? IT'S OBVIOUS TO ME THERE IS A HUGE DESIGN FLAW WITH THE FJ'S VERTICAL GLASS PLACEMENT. I ALSO BELIEVE THE QUALITY OF GLASS THAT IS BEING USED IS SUB-STANDARD. THE REPLACEMENT COST IS OUTRAGEOUS! I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD BE REPLACING THIS GLASS FREE OF CHARGE. I AM NOW LOOKING TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S JUST GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. TOO EXPENSIVE TO KEEP REPLACING!! SHAME ON TOYOTA. *TR
