NHTSA Complaint #10247280 — 2006 SCION XB

I OWN A SCION XB 2006 AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM MANY OTHER SCION XB OWNERS ARE HAVING. MY FRONT WINDSHIELD KEEPS CRACKING IN THE TYPICAL "L" SHAPED PATTERN. THE FIRST TIME WAS LAST YEAR, IT CRACKED FOR NO REASON DURING THE LATE SPRING. A ROCK NEVER HIT IT, NOR DID ANYTHING ELSE THAT LED TO THE CRACK. YESTERDAY, I NOTICED THE SAME "L" SHAPE CRACK STARTING, THIS MORNING, IT SPREAD ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CRACK IS JUST UNDER 3 FEET LONG. THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRST CRACK, STARTS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOUT THREE INCHES FROM THE END OF THE WINDOW FRAME AND MOVES TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. I'VE HAD IT REPLACED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY USING THEIR SUGGESTED AUTO GLASS REPAIR PEOPLE. I WILL HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN, TOMORROW. SO FAR, THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR EVERY 8,000 MILES. I CALLED SCION TODAY TO TELL THEM ABOUT MY SITUATION AFTER FINDING NUMEROUS WEB-SITES DEDICATED SPECIFICALLY TO THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO BE A STRUCTURAL PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND SPANS MANY YEARS MODELS AS THE NEWER 2008'S HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AS MY 2006 AND THE OLDER 2005 MODELS. *TR
