Consumer Description

WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I WAS STRUCK BY A ROCK. WINDSHIELD CRACKED. HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. COSTLY AND NOW I AM TOLD IT WILL COST ANOTHER $400+ TO HAVE IT CALIBRATED. I AM NOW READING THAT THE PRIUS IS PRONE TO WINDSHIELD BREAKS AND THE COST OF RECALIBRATION IS BOTH EXPENSIVE AND THE DEALERS DON'T LIKE DOING IT SO THE TIME TO GET IT DONE IS EXCESSIVE. I NOW WORRY IF SAFETY FEATURES ARE COMPROMISED AND IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.
