A small pebble must have hit my windshield. When I first noticed a spot on the windshield, I thought it was a bug, and the line from the bug, I thought was just fluid. The next day I realized that, what I thought was fluid from the bug, was actually a crack beginning. Each day, the crack has lengthened. I think this is a clear defect in the materials being used. I have been driving for 49 years, and never, ever, have I gotten a crack in a windshield. I have lived in some extreme climates; cold, wind, blowing debris, and never had a crack because a small pebble hit my windshield.
So far, Toyota is not taking responsibility. In my opinion, this is a safety hazard, and the windshields should be recalled. At this point in time, because the crack is only 3 days old, and the location is in the center of the windshield, my vision is not impaired. HOWEVER, in CA it is illegal to drive with a cracked windshield.
I will be contacting the NHTSA if Toyota Motor Sales continues to deny responsibility. Additionally, I will never buy another Toyota if this is the quality I can expect. A small pebble causes the inconvenience and financial burden of replacing the windshield on a car that has averaged 840 miles per month. PLUS this is now considered cause for a citation.
