Consumer Description

2008. *TR 2008 SCION XB DURING A 5 HR TRIP , WITHOUT GETTING HIT ON THE WINDSHIELD BY ANYTHING AT ALL, THE WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A CRACK STARTING AT THE TOP EDGE AND EXTENDING DOWN ABOUT 6 INCHES. I HAD READ ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THE EDMUNDS AUTO WEBSITE. I WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD BY A SERVICE ADVISER THAT I WAS FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR, I WENT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER TO COMPLAIN THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS, AND I WAS NOT GOING TO PAY FOR IT. HE TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD CONTACT THE TOYOTA REP FOR THE AREA AND WOULD GET BACK TO ME. THEY DID APPROVE THE REPAIR, BUT I'M AFRAID THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, ITS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE TO MANY OWNERS, TOYOTA SHOULD BE FORCED TO FIX THIS WITHOUT GIVING CUSTOMERS A HARD TIME ABOUT IT.
