Replying to: kjktoo (May 15, 2008 5:46 am) Of course, my local Toyota denied it, using a ball point pen as he pressed into the crack then said "see this small pit, yep, it is from an impact", very bad. At first, it was Toyota sludge issue as I had my 2000 Camry, then it was transmission issue with my wife's Lexus ES330. Now this windshield crack that Toyota would not fess up to. I am thinking I no longer want to buy Toyota. |

Replying to: aliudp (May 14, 2008 11:05 pm) So, I bought my 2006 used (certified from Toyota dealership) last November, has 21K, but does have two small cracks that I needed filled near the bottom of the windshield. Should I just have my insurance take care of this or do you think it's covered by the certified warranty?

Replying to: mistermilton (Jul 09, 2008 4:02 am) The one thing she did say, for ANYONE READING THIS: don't waste your time with the NHSTA, they don't pay any attention to that. EVERYONE please call Scion at 866-707-2466 and make a complaint. That is the ONLY way they will take our broken windshields as a true issue/design flaw or whatever you want to call it.

| Yet another Scion xB cracked windshield. L-shaped right in front of rearview mirror. No crack in the morning, and a crack suddenly appears that afternoon, and the car never left the driveway. So I brought it to a glass repair shop and paid $225 to have it replaced. Then it started to leak, so I brought it back and they reset and resealed it, and it leaked again. So I brought it to a different shop and paid another $155 to have the windshield reset again. And it leaked again. At this point I searched the Internet for any issues on xB windshield leakage and I see all the complaints of unexplained cracked windshields. I called Scion customer service and the best they are willing to do is pay for half of the $400 I've spent already, with the stipulation that I bring it to the dealer and pay whatever the dealer charges to repair it. I told them that I find this unnacceptable due to the fact that this is obviously a common problem, and if the windshield hadn't cracked to begin with, none of this would have transpired. I think a class action suit might change their tune. | |

Replying to: kjktoo (Jul 10, 2008 11:56 am) I had same crack (See Post #178) and Scion Corp replaced it free of charge based on "Good Will". It took many phone calls, Scion person was super nice and professional but she did deny my claim "it cracked on its own" in the beginning. Now, I am afraid to leave my car outside with windows closed, and it should not be that way. Life is busy, I do not really have time to call Scion or dealer visit for some design flaw.
