Consumer Description

I purchased my car on Dec. 21, 2021 and on March 12, 2022, a small pebble hit the driver side windshield on the lower side and created a small ding. By the next day, the windshield had a 30 inch crack across the drivers side in an arch toward the top center. It took until April 19, 2022 before the replacement windshield could be installed due to back order. My drivers visibility was terrible with sun glare on this crack. I had to pay my deductible to have it replaced. On May 16, 2022, as I was driving down the highway another small rock apparently hit the passengers side lower part of the windshield, but this time it shattered the glass so hard that a hole was formed and shards of glass shot out all over my dash. The crack went two ways up toward the top center in another arch. This scared me so bad I was shaking. Now my car is not safe to drive and I don't know how long it will take to have this OEM windshield replaced yet again. There is something wrong and now I am seeing that there are many more people with this same problem. There is also a class action lawsuit against Toyota for knowing the windshields are bad and refusing to do anything about it.
