Replying to: lavarious (Jan 21, 2008 8:13 am) How about the smart fortwo? It does not get ANY quirkier than that and still be called a car ?   Cheap too, but really, really small.   Dennis

Replying to: justgina (Aug 15, 2006 6:11 am) Yeah - I have ten thousand miles on my 2008xB --I do have 18 inch wheels on it (tho much like they are selling them with at the dealer) Same thing a lil pebble and two cracks later the dealer wants $470.00 not including install. So then I ask if they have 2 order that and he says naw I have them in stock(pause) Oh wait, I am temporarily out of stock.......that leads me to believe that already there are a few trashed windshields out there!!!

Just got a 10 inch crack just below the rear view mirror that curves towards the driver! Scion is a 2006 with 19k miles. Called dealer who referred me to my insurance company-windshields are covered in Florida with no deductible ! Yeah! Replies to this message: caliberchic (Jan 23, 2008 11:05 am)

Replying to: just4fun2 (Dec 31, 2007 12:27 pm) The 2008 xB does it too--- had my car two months, came out one day, had one crack, two days later had a second way over on opposite end.

#144 of 225 Scion Broken windshield by jfishin Jan 24, 2008 (9:03 pm)
I filed a complaint at the encouragement of wheelman and the web link he provided. There are five complaints on file for the same problem. A crack starts at the top of the windshield on the passaenger side with no apperent reason. I just walked out to the box this morning and looked over and noticed it. Was not there when I parked the car. So I got out to investigate what could have caused it. Nothing! So I like wheelman encourage you all who have had this problem to submit a complaint. It was quick and easy using the link wheelman provided. If nothing else I step up.   Jfishin
#145 of 225 I can't believe this by scionpunkin Jan 28, 2008 (3:19 pm)
This is the complaint I've posted with NHTSA:   I bought a used '06 Scion xB in Aug. '07 & w/in a week my windshield(WS) was leaking big time. There were no cracks & the carfax report came back clean w/ no prior accidents. I called the dealer & since it was under warranty they had a local WS co. replace the WS. That weekend I washed the Scion & noticed water running down the inside of the WS again by the rear view mirror. Still no obvious reason of why it should be leaking. I was extremely concerned about electrical issues w/ the water & the fact that I live in Portland which meant lots of rain. I called the dealer again & this time I asked for another co. to replace the glass, thinking the other co. had just done a bad job. After the 2nd time of fixing it I thought everything was fine until I noticed loud popping & cracking noises while driving. A couple of the pops were so loud it scared me because it sounded like the whole WS cracked, but there were no visible cracks. Just in case I was hearing things, I had my husband ride along & he heard the same noises. A week or two later, I noticed that when the WS was fogging there were stream lines from water on the left inside and I knew those shouldn't be there because the last co. had put in a brand new WS. Later, I finally noticed water dripping in the same spot & I knew it was leaking again. Frustrated & not wanting to deal w/ it, I continued to drive the car with a leaky WS for about week, until I went through a car wash & noticed a strong stream of water running down the left inside of the WS inside the car. The following Monday (today) I called the dealership. I'm taking the car in tonight. I'm suggesting, some sort of extra strength seal & possibly a sway/strut bar to stabalize the vehicle more. If this doesn't work then I want to trade it in for a newer xB or possibly something else. My warranty is only for 100,000 miles & I'm half way there & I don't want to get to the point where I have to start paying to replace any of this when it is obviously a flaw with the car.   Besides the windshield issue, I'm very pleased with my xB. Before it I owned a 2001 Ford Focus, it seems I went from one problem car to another, but hey at least my Scion starts everytime.   I'm very anxious to see what happens tonight at the dealership. I'll keep you guys posted.
#147 of 225 didn't listen by scionpunkin Jan 31, 2008 (10:11 am)
Well unfortunately they didn't listen to me and they are just replacing the windshield again. They had no answer for all the popping noises and said this time they will let the car sit extra long before it's driven after the glass is put in. One good thing though is Toyota is ordering the glass themselves, so we'll see. If this doesn't fix it I'll be posting again. I'm seriously considering buying a strut bar, it couldn't hurt.
