2019 LEXUS NX300 Complaints

ON DECEMBER 28 RETURNING FROM A CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY MY WINDSHIELD WAS HIT BY A PEBBLE IN THE RAIN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT STARTED AS A SMALL STAR AT THE POINT OF IMPACT BUT THE WINDSHIELD BEGAN TO CRACK ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. I TOOK IT TO LEXUS MY LEXUS TIRE AND WINDSHIELD INSURANCE DID NOT COVER THE CRACKED WINDSHIELD. I SPENT A $500 DEDUCTIBLE FROM MY CAR INSURANCE AND HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED. I NEVER HAVE SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. I HAD A TOYOTA 1996 CAMRY NEW FOR 23 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PEBBLE GROW FROM A STAR SHAPE NICK TO A FULL ON CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD, THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I DO NOT THINK THIS WINDSHIELD IS SAFE. I TOOK THE CAR TO BE FIXED AND HAD IT REPLACED WITH THE LEXUS OEM WINDSHIELD TO KEEP THE CAR WITH LEXUS STANDARD EARLY JANUARY 2019. I USED A LEXUS VENDOR TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD. JANUARY 16, 2019 1.5 WEEKS LATER I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN RAINY WEATHER WITH THE NEWLY INSTALLED WINDSHIELD A PEBBLE HITS IT A STAR SHAPE SHOWS UP. IT DIDN'T CRACK IMMEDIATELY, THIS TIME (THE SECOND TIME) THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED OVER NIGHT. I WAS GOING TO TAKE IT TO LEXUS TO FIX IT UNDER MY INSURANCE PLAN, BUT BY MORNING IT HAD CRACKED OVER NIGHT. NOW, I HAD TO SPEND ANOTHER $500.00 DEDUCTIBLE TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY, WHILE THE FIRST CLAIM WAS STILL BEING PROCESSED. THE 2019 LEXUS NX 300 IS FAULTY I AM VERY CONCERNED. THE WINDSHIELD IS REPLACE BUT I AM DRIVING ON THE DEFENSE EVERYDAY AFRAID THAT MY WINDSHIELD IS GOING TO BE HIT AGAIN. I WOULD REQUEST THAT LEXUS RECALLS THE 2019 LEXUS NX 300 WINDSHIELDS THEY ARE NOT SAFE.

THERE IS A REFLECTION ON THE INSIDE OF FRONT WINDOW SHIELD FROM THE SILVER TRIM THAT SURROUNDS THE DASHBOARD MEDIA SCREEN...IF THE SUN IS SHINING OR AT NIGHT THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THIS REFLECTION IS VERY ANNOYING AND TAKES ATTENTION AWAY FROM DRIVING SAFELY. I MENTIONED THIS TO AN EMPLOYEE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND HE REPLIED...YES I ALSO HAVE A NEW NX AND I SEE IT BUT IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME!! IT SURE BOTHERS ME.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 35 MPH I HEARD A LIGHT "CLICKING" SOUND AND NOTICED A 0.5 INCH STAR-SHAPED CRACK RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. AS I CONTINUED DRIVING THE CRACK STARTED GROWING ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD EVEN WHEN I PARKED THE CAR. OVERNIGHT, IT EXPANDED HORIZONTALLY AS CAN BE SEEN FROM THE ATTACHED "BEFORE AND AFTER" PHOTO AND IS NOW ALMOST 80% OF THE WINDSHIELD WIDTH. IN MY 50 YEARS OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE HAVING BEEN THROUGH A GOOD DOZEN OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT WHEN TINY CHIPS OR CRACKS WOULD QUICKLY EXPAND TO THAT ENORMOUS SIZE. BECAUSE OF THE FAST CRACK PROPAGATION THIS IS POTENTIALLY A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT FOR THE DRIVERS WHICH SHOULD BE REPORTED TO THE GLASS MANUFACTURER TO FIX IT.
