Consumer Description

ON TUESDAY JANUARY 19, 2010 ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK IN THE CENTER OF MY WINDSHIELD RIGHT BEHIND THE REARVIEW MIRROR OF MY 2006 SCION XB. I WAS GOING TO TAKE IT TO A SHOP TO BE REPAIRED ON WEDNESDAY, ON WEDNESDAY MORNING I SAW THE CRACK HAD DOUBLED IN SIZE AND WAS IN THE SHAPE OF AN L GOING TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE AND WAS BEYOND ABILITY TO REPAIR. I THOUGHT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A ROCK THAT CAUSED THE DAMAGE, BUT I COULD NOT RECALL A ROCK CAUSING SUCH DAMAGE IN SO LITTLE TIME. SO I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO SEE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE L SHAPE CRACK IN THE 2004 - 2006 SCION XB WINDSHIELD. I DID MORE RESEARCH AND I WAS TOLD TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA IN HOPE IT COULD BE RESOLVED SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
