NHTSA Complaint #10283791 — 2008 SCION XB

I WAS INTERESTED IN BUYING A 2008 SCION XB. I HAD HEARD THAT THE OLDER XBS HAD A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE WINDSHIELDS SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKING. THEY CALLED THEM "STRESS CRACKS" BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE FRAME WAS AND THE SLOPE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I SPOKE TO A SALESMAN BEFORE I BOUGHT THE NEW SCION ABOUT THE WINDSHIELD PROBLEM. HE TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. TODAY, SEPT. 12TH 2009, I FOUND THE L SHAPED CRACK THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT ON THE 1ST GENERATION XBS. I AM CONTACTING THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, AND I AM NOT ABOUT TO REPLACE MY WINDSHIELD NUMEROUS TIMES (AS MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD TO DO, SOMETIMES 7 OR 8 TIMES IN 6 MONTHS!!!) ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SCION XB WINDSHIELD? *TR
