#163 of 225 Toyota Quality? by little3 Apr 21, 2008 (3:36 pm)
Too bad. Really was going to buy an Xb but this problem (for nearly 3-4 yrs) as well as Toyota's stonewalling/denial/refusal to stand behind their product pretty much stops me from buying. Was going to get a RAV4 but there were questions re: oil sludge build up in vehicles with less than 6000 miles which Toyota said did not happen. Interestingly, Consumer Reports does not address this issue of WS cracking...nor does GEICO report any problems. In the first case, this may be due to CR being too busy denigrating US cars while giving blanket approval to "quality" companies such as Toyota & Honda (Element WS cracks settled without admission of design flaw). In GEICO's case, it may be that GEICO and other insurance companies have not had to pay for replacements because most people have a deductible that covers the cost so therefore "it's no skin off my nose" as far as GEICO, State Farm, etc. are concerned. If I do go ahead an buy an Xb then I'll have to go with "Zero" deductible on comprehensive...sure the premium will go up but not as high as the cost of repeatedly replacing WS. Perhaps we should all do this so the insurance companies can put a little heat on Toyota. Just a thought.

Replying to: just4fun2 (Apr 07, 2008 6:15 pm) Thanks for the info, I was hoping you were right and I had similar coverage, however, after checking, I discovered I have $500 deductible. ALSO, Saturday morning, I found out from my Scion dealer it is going to cost me nearly $800 to replace the windshield and that is if and when they can get me a windshield! Can you believe it? No windshields around....interesting.... Replies to this message: ackerj (May 28, 2008 7:33 pm)

Replying to: miamax (Aug 27, 2006 12:58 pm) It can be repaired...I had a rock bounce off the windshield of my new 2008 XB...A good auto glass shop will have the tool fix a small hole...Seals and almost disappears... I was/am still bummed out but at least I saved a very exspensive windshield ? At 500 dollar deductable will not replace if it can be repaired...

Replying to: waps (Apr 22, 2008 7:50 am) Had mine take a small rock hit going down the 210 freeway in Pasadena Calif. Had it fixed a hour later like you said it almost disappears. Cost 55 dollars but the hole will not run. Will see what insurance pays if any. Replies to this message: scionskeptic (Apr 23, 2008 7:06 pm) texases (Apr 24, 2008 5:36 am) waps (Jul 04, 2008 2:02 pm)

Replying to: waps (Apr 23, 2008 5:13 pm) It's understandable if a rock hits the window, but when you watch the crack start before your eyes while the car is sitting in your driveway, or your on your 6th window in just a few months it's a little more than suspicious.

Replying to: waps (Apr 23, 2008 5:13 pm) Don't know if it's worth asking the insurance to pay - they track these things, and I don't want them to put me in a higher claims category for $55. Replies to this message: waps (Jul 04, 2008 2:02 pm)

Replying to: kjktoo (Apr 07, 2008 5:47 pm) I just got a crack on the top right hand corner. Came out of the blue, no stone, no nada. I think there is an issue with these Scions Replies to this message: texases (May 15, 2008 5:21 am) hondadave7 (May 15, 2008 5:31 am) kjktoo (May 15, 2008 5:42 am) halo34 (Jun 25, 2008 9:07 am) waps (Jul 04, 2008 2:15 pm)

Replying to: aliudp (May 14, 2008 11:05 pm) Which year is your xB?

Replying to: aliudp (May 14, 2008 11:05 pm) I don't mean to down play, since the latest miss used buzz words are basically and issue. But Toyota has no intention of solving this toilet paper front end . Scion xB's don't have a front end issue, THEY HAVE A REAL PROBLEM !!!   David

Replying to: aliudp (May 14, 2008 11:05 pm) Trust me, the dealership will find a microscopic dot on the windshield crack and blame a stone or such -- and they won't cover it. My dealer just told me it would be about $800 to fix. I am a very disgruntled Scion owner.... and I only have 3K miles on it!!!
