2006 SCION XB Complaints

TODAY, 6/13/08, I WAS WASHING MY CAR....NOTHING UNUSUAL....AFTER I WAS FINISHED WITH THE OUTSIDE AND STARTED ON THE INSIDE, I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD....I WASN'T EVEN DRIVING SO NOTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD...AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL.... *TR

I HAVE A 2006 SCION XB WITH ONLY 9,000 MILES ON IT, AND I AM ABOUT TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD FOR THE THIRD TIME WITH THE SAME EXACT L-SHAPE CRACK THAT BEGINS AT THE TOP CENTER GOES DOWN ABOUT 6 INCHES AND THEN TO THE LEFT 6 INCHES. NO ROCK DAMAGE OR OTHER DAMAGE CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THIS. THERE IS SOME KIND OF DEFECT TO CAUSE A WINDSHIELD TO CONSTANTLY CRACK IN THE SAME PLACE EVERY TIME WITH THE SAME LOOK. *TR

MY 2006 SCION XB HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD, "L" SHAPED FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD, BEHIND THE REARVIEW MIRROR, GOING PERPENDICULAR FOR ABOUT 6-8" THEN MAKING A 90 DEGREE TURN TOWARD THE PASSENGER SIDE, EXTENDING FOR ABOUT 12". IT HAS STOPPED PROGRESSING. IT SEEMED TO HAPPEN FOR NO REASON. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONGST XB OWNERS. *TR

2006 SCION XB CRACKED WINDSHIELD. IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SCION THAT THEY CORRECTED IN THEIR 2008 MODEL. *TR

STRESS CRACK APPEARED WHEN I RETURNED TO MY PARKED CAR IN THE MORNING. NO IMPACT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. THIS IS A REPORTED DESIGN FLAW IN THE 2006 SCION XB, AND I FEEL THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. *TR

17 INCH CRACK JUST BEHIND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. LONG CRACK STARTING AT THE RUBBER OF THE WINDSHIELD GOING 7 INCHES DOWN, CRACK TURNS IN A 90 DEGREE ANGLE 10 INCHES TOWARDS THE PASSENGER. NO IMPACT, CRACK WAS NOT THERE WHEN I PARKED MY CAR. CRACK PRESENT WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR THE NEXT MORNING. WILL BE GETTING THE WINDSHIELD REPAIRED TOMORROW. WILL NOT HAVE IT REPLACED AT THIS TIME SINCE THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF ISSUE OF THE WINDSHIELD CRACKING AGAIN FROM OTHER SCION XB OWNERS. I DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO KEEP REPLACING WINDSHIELD AS MANY OTHER HAVE HAD DONE. *TR

MY SCION WAS PARKED IN A GARAGE. THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I WENT TO GET IN THE CAR I NOTICED A 12 INCH CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD THAT STARTED ON THE FAR DRIVERS SIDE AND CURVED A LITTLE THEN WENT STRAIGHT TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE CAR. THE DATE OF THE CRACK WAS 4/19/08. TOYOTA REPLACED THE WINDOW ON 4/22/08. I GOT INTO MY CAR ON 4/27/08 TO GO TO A FRIENDS HOUSE 1 HOUR LATER I GOT INTO MY CAR AND THERE WAS ANOTHER CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD. IT STARTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND CAME UP ABOUT 5 INCHES AND CURVED TOWARDS THE DRIVER SIDE FOR ABOUT 5 OR 6 INCHES. *TR

MY REAR WINDSHIELD HAS CRACKED AND COMPLETELY SHATTERED 3 TIME IN 6 MONTHS. I'VE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET, AND IM TIRED OF IT....TOYOTA CLAIMS THERE IS NO DEFECT, BUT I'VE READ ON OTHER SITES THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. MY FRONT WINDSHIELD IS NOW CRACKED FROM UNDERNEATH THE OUTSIDE MOLDING....HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS DO I HAVE TO SPEND BEFORE THEY RECALL THIS ISSUE. *TR

I BOUGHT MY SCION BRAND NEW IN NOV. 2005. IT WAS MY FIRST BRAND NEW CAR, AND I LOVE MY XB. I HAVE BEEN HAVING UNACCEPTABLE PROBLEMS WITH WINDSHIELD CRACKS. I AM CURRENTLY ON MY 5TH WINDSHIELD, AND TODAY I CAME OUT AND SAW A NEW CRACK. APPROX. 12" ON THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE. THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY FACING THE GARAGE DOOR SINCE ABOUT 530PM YESTERDAY. SOME ONE OF THE PREVIOUS CRACK WAS DUE TO A SMALL PEBBLE LIKE OBJECT THAT LIGHTLY HIT THE WINDSHIELD. IT WAS INSTANTANEOUSLY A 10" CRACK. MY FIRST TWO WINDSHIELDS WERE COVERED BY MY INSURANCE, THAT LAST ONE I PAID FOR OUT OF POCKET. WITH THE NEW CRACK I WILL ALSO HAVE TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT UNLESS TOYOTA OWNS UP TO THE DEFECT. THE NEW CRACK SHOWS NO SIGNS OF IMPACT. IT GROWS OUT FROM UNDER THE MOLDING AND GOES UP, THEN SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT, THEN UP AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA TWICE HOPING TO GET THIS SOLVED. I'LL KEEP MY FINGERS CROSSED. *TR

MY WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A CRACK STARTING FROM THE TOP MIDDLE, DIRECTLY BEHIND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. THE CRACK EXTENDED DOWNWARD APPROXIMATELY 6-8 INCHES AND THEN HORIZONTALLY TOWARD THE DRIVER'S SIDE APPROXIMATELY 6-8 INCHES, FORMING AN "L" SHAPE. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS HAPPENED AS I DON'T RECALL HAVING ANY DEBRIS HIT THE WINDSHIELD. 8TR
