Consumer Description

ON THE MORNING OF MARCH 13, 2008 I AWOKE TO FIND A LARGE L SHAPED CRACK(APPROX. 1 FT LONG/DRIVER'S SIDE) IN THE WINDSHIELD OF MY 2006 SCION XB. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME TO HAVE THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED THE FOLLOWING DAY(COSTING ME A $50.00 DEDUCTIBLE). I COULD OFFER NO REASON AS TO HOW THE CRACK HAPPENED...IT SEEMED TO JUST APPEAR(AS MOST OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I'VE READ ON HERE SUGGEST). IN ADDITION, I HAVE OWNED MY XB FOR CLOSE TO A YEAR AND A HALF AND IN THAT TIME I HAVE HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPAIRED 2 OTHER TIMES DUE TO CHIPS/SMALL CRACKS. JUDGING BY THE DATA I HAVE FOUND ON THIS WEBSITE AND ELSEWHERE, I WOULD DEFINITELY CONCLUDE THAT THERE IS A MAJOR DEFECT IN THE 2006 SCION XB. AND THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD, BEING THAT THE WINDSHIELD IS A MAJOR COMPONENT OF A VEHICLE'S SAFETY. *TR
