Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER IN SEPTEMBER 2007. THE FIRST WEEK I HAD THE VEHICLE I WAS TRAVELING THROUGH TOWN AT 45MPH WHEN A VERY SMALL ROCK STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING A HOLE IN THE WINDSHIELD. THE NEXT DAY THE HOLD SPLINTERED ACROSS THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE NOW OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR ONE YEAR AND I HAVE ONE DOZEN ROCK CHIPS IN THE WINDSHIELD. MY DRIVING HABITS ARE ORDINARY CITY DRIVING. EACH OF THE CHIPS WAS CAUSED BY VERY SMALL ROCKS AT SLOW SPEEDS. MOST INSTANTLY SPLINTER OUT FROM THE ORIGINAL CHIP. THE MATERIAL OR DESIGN OF THE WINDSHIELD IS CLEARLY SUBSTANDARD. THE REPLACEMENT COST IS OUTRAGEOUS. *TR
