NHTSA Complaint #10243360 — 2006 SCION XB

I WALKED INTO MY GARAGE THIS MORNING AND FOUND A L-SHAPED CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD. IT STARTS FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND ENDS RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. MY WINDSHIELD DID NOT HAVE A CRACK WHEN I LEFT MY CAR YESTERDAY EVENING. IT IS A VERY FINE CRACK AND DOESN'T LOOK AS IF SOMETHING HIT IT (NO SPLINTERS IN THE GLASS). I CONTACTED SCION CORPORATE THIS MORNING AND THEY TOLD ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A SCION DEALERSHIP (I AM MAKING AN APPOINTMENT FOR TOMORROW MORNING). THEY SAID THAT IT WOULD BE UP TO THE DEALERSHIP WHETHER THE REPLACEMENT WOULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AND IF THE DEALERSHIP DEEMS THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE, THEN I SHOULD GET AN ESTIMATE AND CONTACT THEM AGAIN WITH THE INFORMATION. THEY OPENED UP A CASE NUMBER FOR ME. THE FUNNY THING IS WHEN I WAS RESEARCHING MY CAR PURCHASE, I SAW ON EDMUNDS.COM THAT THE 2006 SCION XB HAD PROBLEMS WITH SPONTANEOUS CRACKS FORMING IN THE WINDSHIELD. HOPEFULLY, TOYOTA/SCION RESOLVES THIS ISSUE IN A REASONABLE MANNER. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON HOW THIS PANS OUT. *TR
