2006 Scion Xb

MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN BUT APPROXIMATELY 0.5 MILES IN 4 DAYS. ON THE 5TH DAY I GOT IN MY VEHICLE TO DRIVE AND THERE WAS AN "L" SHAPED CRACK ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD. THIS CRACK WAS NOT THERE THE LAST TIME I DROVE MY VEHICLE. THE ORIGIN OF THE CRACK BEGINS UNDER THE SEAM WHERE THE WINDSHIELD MEETS THE TOP OF THE CAR A FEW INCHES TOWARDS THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CRACK THEN GOES STRAIGHT DOWN FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 INCHES AND THEN ANGLES SHARPLY TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUES FOR APPROXIMATELY 12 INCHES. THERE IS NO CHIP,CRACK, OR NICK THAT APPEARS TO BE THE CAUSE OF THIS LARGE "L" SHAPED CRACK. THE REASON FOR THE CRACK IS COMPLETELY UNKNOWN. *TR

PARKED MY CAR (2006 SCION XB) OUTSIDE ONE EVENING. WOKE THE NEXT MORNING AND THERE WAS A LARGE L-SHAPED CRACK NEAR THE REARVIEW MIRROR. NO ROCK OR IMPACT DAMAGE OCCURRED, JUST A CRACK APPEARED. ABOUT 4 DAYS LATER, NOT ONLY HAD THAT CRACK GROWN, BUT I NOW HAD A NEW CRACK JUTTING IN FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. BOTH CRACKS EXCEED WELL OVER 18 INCHES. THERE IS NOTHING OF MY DOING OR OF AN ACCIDENT INVOLVED IN THESE CRACKS. I HAVE VISITED A NUMBER OF ONLINE FORUMS, AND THIS APPEARS COMMONPLACE WITH THESE XBS AND THEIR OWNERS. IT SEEMS THERE IS TOO MUCH STRESS IN THE DESIGN ON THE GLASS, AND IT CRACKS AT WILL. ANYWAYS, IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT, AND I DO NOT WANT TO PAY $500 FOR A NEW WINDSHIELD THAT IS ONLY TO CRACK AGAIN AT THE SLIGHTEST TEMPERATURE CHANGE. PLEASE HELP US. SCION NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS ISN'T A SPARK PLUG...THESE WINDSHIELDS ARE $500 AND WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REPLACE THEM. *TR

A SPONTANEOUS CRACK APPEARED IN MY 2006 SCION XB WINDSHIELD WHILE SITTING OVERNIGHT. THE CRACK STARTS AT THE TOP CENTER EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD, TRAVELS DOWN BEHIND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, AND ANGLES TOWARDS THE DRIVER'S SIDE IN AN L SHAPE. THERE IS NO CHIP OR OTHER VISIBLE DAMAGE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CRACK. THERE WAS NO ROCK IMPACT IN DAYS/WEEKS/MONTHS PRECEDING THE CRACK. IT'S PERHAPS 8-12" LONG. THE LACK OF ANY OBVIOUS OR ACCIDENTAL CAUSE FOR THIS CRACK IS WHAT CONCERNS ME AND SEEMS TO IMPLY A DEFECT. *TR

FOUND A L-SHAPED CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD. IT STARTS FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND ENDS RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. MY WINDSHIELD DID NOT HAVE A CRACK WHEN I LEFT MY CAR THE NIGHT BEFORE. IT IS A VERY FINE CRACK AND DOESN'T LOOK AS IF SOMETHING HIT THE GLASS. TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP . THE SERVICE MANAGER PROCEEDED TO RUN A BALLPOINT PIN THROUGH THE CRACK AND TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE THERE WAS PITTING. *TR

I OWN A 2006 SCION XB. THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED (AT THE EDGE) FOR NO APPARENT REASON IN MARCH 2008, AND IT WAS INDICATED BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS DUE TO INSTALLATION. THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. IT HAS CRACKED ONCE AGAIN, DECEMBER 2008, ONCE AGAIN ALONG THE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT TO SEE IF THE DEALER WILL REPLACE IT ONCE AGAIN FOR NO CHARGE. THIS IS ALSO AN INCONVENIENCE AS THE DEALERSHIP IS ONE HOUR FROM MY HOME. *TR
