Side/rear Glass Problems of Toyota Scion Xb

Toyota Scion Xb, 2006: windshield has been cracking ongoing beginning 2 weeks after I purchased this car. Toyota/scion refuses to acknowledge this ongoing problem, and offers no replacement. I replaced 2 windshields within a year and lived with another crack for 3 years until now, as I have accumulated 3 cracks. Toyota offers me the chance to pay twice as much for their glass as the cost for aftermarket replacement.

This is my second complaint around this issue. My 2006 Scion Xb has a cracked windshield. This is the second time! my research indicates this is an unusually common problem in this model and I note that this will be the 89th complaint of this type on this site. I have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles in my life and my windshield has been hit by rocks on many occasions. Not once have those strikes resulted in a fatally cracked windshield until my scion. A small nick will almost invariably end up in major crack. I was told by the dealership that this is because of how the windshield is sloped. I believe it is a cheap piece of glass or a design flaw of some kind. At $500 a windshield it is becoming an expensive proposition to own this vehicle.

Window has an l shaped cracked that appeared. I took it to the dealership, they said there is a small chip at the top. I cannot find the chip. My father in law looked. The man spent 30 years making automotive glass and could not find it.

I purchased a brand new 2008 Scion Xb on August 3, 2008 and only after 2. 5 weeks noticed the "l" shaped crack on my windshield. After my initial inspection I could not see any visible abrasions. I took my vehicle to the dealer 2 days after I first noticed and was told that it was due to a rock. The service representative that conducted the test had to literally try to find a "point of contact". He even had to request for someone else to find one. Finally after numerous passes with his pen and finger he finds a small chip about the size of a pen tip, an inch down from the seam of where the glass meets the car. The car has less than 600 miles. Is parked in a garage (at work and home). The crack is now an estimated 7+ inches. I said to the service rep, "is the quality of the windshield that poor, that a very small rock hitting a brand new windshield would cause this much damage". His response was yes.

My windshield in my 2008 Scion Xb cracked at an angle starting around the mirror and curving to the right. It occurred hours after I had driven it, from no apparent reason. The glass appears to be substandard or similar to the Honda element, a design defect. I had it replaced already.

Tl *- the contact owns a 2006 Toyota scion. While driving at 60 mph the contact opened the windows and the rear driver side panel window began to crack and broke into pieces. The dealer advised the contact to call the warranty company.
