Consumer Description

TOPIC: PRIUS CRACKED WINDSHIELD I HAVE A 2017 PRIUS PURCHASED NEW ABOUT A MONTH AGO WITH ABOUT 1500 MILES DRIVEN. 2 DAYS AGO, WHEN I PULLED TO A GAS STATION TO PUMP GAS, I NOTICED A SMALL CRACKS ON UPPER RIGHT HAND ALONG THE EDGE OF WINDSHIELD. YESTERDAY, THE CRACKS DEVELOPED INTO 12 IN. LONG. CHECKED THICKNESS BETWEEN FINGERS, IT IS ABOUT SAME AS THAT OF A DRINKING GLASS, VERY THIN FOR A CAR. QUICK CHECK ON INTERNET REVEALED THIS IS VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH PRIUS 2016 OR NEWER. CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS INFORMED THIS IS NOT A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I'VE OWN SEVERAL CARS FROM TOYOTA AND HONDA WITH NO ISSUE WITH ROCK HITTING. PLEASE CHECK INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE TO SEE IF IT IS A DESIGN MISTAKE IN PURSUE OF WEIGHT REDUCTION. THANK YOU.
