Consumer Description

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY OVER NIGHT. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WENT OUTSIDE TO WASH THE CAR I NOTICED THERE WAS A VERY LARGE 'L' SHAPED CRACK RUNNING THE LENGTH OF APPROX. 3' FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD DOWN, THEN CURVING AND RUNNING FOR ANOTHER 17' TOWARDS THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THIS LARGE OF A CRACK HAPPENED OVERNIGHT!! THE CRACK HAS SEEMINGLY APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE AS THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE THAT THE CRACK WOULD HAVE ORIGINATED FROM; IT APPEARS TO BEGIN UNDER THE TRIM OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE DONE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED BY MANY OTHER SCION XB OWNERS. THIS WOULD LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE WINDSHIELDS TOYOTA INSTALLED IN THE XB MODEL ARE DEFECTIVE. AGAIN, MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT AND I LIVE IN A VERY QUIET RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. *TR
