2006 Scion Xb

I HAVE A 2006 SCION XB AND IN FEBRUARY OF 2007 APP. 4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR THE WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A CRACK IN IT, THERE WAS NO SIGN OF A ROCK HITTING NO NOISE I JUST LOOKED UP AND IT WAS CRACKED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE WINDOW AND JUST YESTERDAY SEP. 14, 2008 I GOT IN MY CAR AND THERE WAS ANOTHER CRACK I HERE A POPPING NOISE THE NIGHT BEFORE AND THE NEXT MORNING THERE WAS AN L SHAPED CRACK IN IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 SCION XB THAT WAS PURCHASED IN MAY 2006. LAST YEAR, IN 2007, A CRACK APPEARED THAT STARTED ON THE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THEY CRACK THEN GREW FROM A LINE INTO AN L SHAPE. A MONTH OR SO AFTER THAT ANOTHER L SHAPED CRACK APPEARED COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD BEHIND THE REARVIEW MIRROR. I REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD ON AUGUST 29, 2008. LAST NIGHT THE WINDSHIELD WAS FINE, THIS MORNING (SEPTEMBER 12, 2008 - TWO WEEKS LATER!!) THERE IS ANOTHER L SHAPED CRACK BEHIND THE REARVIEW MIRROR THAT APPEARED OVERNIGHT WHILE THE CAR WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

I OWN A 2006 SCION XB RELEASE SERIES 3.0 ENVY GREEN AND THE HEAD REST MONITORS THAT CAME FROM FACTORY HAS FAILED. THE FIRST TIME THE MONITORS FAILED TO WORK WAS BACK ON JULY 20 AND EVER SINCE THE MONITORS WILL NOT WORK OR IT WILL TURN ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND SHUTS OFF AND WILL NOT TURN ON AGAIN. I HAVE TRIED TO TURN IT ON EVERY TIME I HAVE THE KIDS IN THE BACK BUT UNFORTUNATELY CANNOT MAKE IT WORK. I AM ALSO A MEMBER OF A NUMEROUS SCION WEBSITE FORUMS AND SPOKE TO SOME OF THE RS3.0 OWNERS AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS, AND I WAS SURPRISE TO FIND OUT THAT ONE OF THE MEMBERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON THE SAME EXACT DATE I HAD MINE AND WE WERE AT THE SAME SCION EVENT. I WAS TOLD BY THAT MEMBER THAT HE HAD TAKEN HIS TO A SCION DEALERSHIP AND HE WAS INFORMED BY THAT SERVICE DEPT THAT SCION/TOYOTA KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE UNIT MODULE FOR THE MONITORS AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE PART FOR FREE OF CHARGE. MY PROBLEM IS THAT OF ALL 3 SCION DEALERSHIPS I HAVE CONTACTED NONE WOULD ADMIT OF SUCH ISSUE INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MINE. PLEASE HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND FOR OTHER RS3.0 OWNERS OUT THERE THAT ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SOON TO HAPPEN. *TR

AROUND MARCH 2008, I PEBBLE HIT MY SCION XB WINDSHIELD AND CAUSED A SMALL CRACK. ABOUT A WEEK LATER THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED IN DIFFERENT PLACES AND I HAD TO GET IT REPLACED. RECENTLY, ON AUGUST 4TH, 2008, ANOTHER PEBBLE HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND ANOTHER CRACK. AND TODAY AUGUST 27TH, 2008, MY FRIEND WHO HAS AN XB ALSO GOT A CRACK ON HER WINDSHIELD FROM A SMALL PEBBLE. I LOOKED ONLINE FOR SOME SORT OF EXPLANATION AND IT SEEMS THAT TONS OF SCION XB OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING OF SUCH A DEFECT ON THEIR WINDSHIELDS. SO I AM ALSO HERE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE IM GOING THROUGH MY 2ND WINDSHIELD. *TR

THE FRONT WINDSHIELD OF MY 2006 SCION XB DEVELOPED A CRACK WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND NO OTHER CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME TO TOSS ROCKS. THERE WAS NO IMPACT FROM A ROCK OR ANYTHING BEFORE THE CRACK APPEARED. I HEARD A POP AND DISCOVERED THE CRACK. THE POP SOUND WAS NOT THE NORMAL ROCK ON THE WINDSHIELD SOUND. THERE IS NO SIGN OF ANY IMPACT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD IN THIS AREA. THE CRACK DEVELOPED IN THE AREA BEHIND THE REARVIEW MIRROR AND IS AN "L" SHAPED CRACK. THE FIRST DAY THE CRACK WAS ABOUT 8-10" IN LENGTH AND HAS PROGRESSED ANOTHER 2-4" OVER THE LAST FOUR MONTHS. I FEEL THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THIS VEHICLE THAT IS CAUSING SO MANY XB OWNERS TO HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. *TR

MY CAR HAS SEVERAL DEFECTS. I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SCION. I PURCHASE THIS CAR FROM CARMAX BUT THEY TELL ME THAT I HAVE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT A TOYOTA CAR DEALERSHIP PLACE. THIS PLACE HAS BEEN GIVEN ME A RUN AROUND ABOUT FIXING MY CAR EVER SINCE JANUARY. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR ONE THING TO BE REPAIRED. AND THE TOLD ME THAT THE ELECTRICAL AIR BAG AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACE IN MY CAR AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED AT THIS PLACE AT ALL. I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS TO HAVE THEM TO REPAIRED WHAT THEY SAID I NEEDED REPAIRED ON MY CAR. I HAVE NOT HEARD NO RESPONDS FROM THIS COMPANY IN REGARDS TO MY CAR. I HAVE ALREADY HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT WORK. *TR

I PURCHASED MY SCION XB 2006 IN AUGUST OF 2006. LAST WEEK, WED. JULY 9, 2008, AN L SHAPED CRACK APPEARED ON MY FRONT WINDSHIELD. IT APPEARED OVERNIGHT OUT OF NOWHERE. I DISCOVERED IT IN THE MORNING. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF TRAUMA TO THE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK STARTS AT THE VERY TOP EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND GOES IN AN L SHAPE. THE NEXT MORNING (THUR, JULY 10) A SECOND L-SHAPED CRACK APPEARED IN MY WINDSHIELD IN THE SAME FASHION. THIS ONE IS ON THE LOWER LEFT SIDE AND ALSO STARTS AT THE VERY EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD. AGAIN, THERE WAS NO TRAUMA TO THE WINDSHIELD AND THE CRACK APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE. THE TWO CRACKS ARE NOW HEADING TOWARD EACH OTHER, AND I AM WORRIED THIS DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD WILL CRACK. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND TALKING TO MECHANICS, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT IN THE SCION XB 2006 MODEL. MANY OWNERS HAVE REPORTED L-SHAPED CRACKS APPEARING OUT OF NOWHERE AND FILED COMPLAINTS. THE MECHANIC I SPOKE WITH SAID THAT HE HAS REPLACED MANY CRACKED WINDSHIELDS ON SCION XB'S. HE ATTRIBUTES WHAT HE TERMED THIS DESIGN DEFECT TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR SITS SO LOW AND THE STEEP GRADE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I KNOW YOU HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND I URGE YOU TO TAKE ACTION.*TR
