2016 Toyota PRIUS Visibility Wiper Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). In early june i walked out from a bookstore in oceanside, ca to find my windshield, on my parked/stationary prius, had about an 8 to 10 inch crack on the passenger side. I filed an insurance claim with aaa and found that when i attempted to use two different vendors for repair as well as the carlsbad, ca dealership, each one conveyed to me that there is a national shortage on prius windshields. The crack has expanded on its own at this time, making the car unsafe to drive. It is almost across the entire windshield. I'm renting a car, but my rental will expire on july 20th. If i renew the rental, it will be at my expense. According to the carlsbad toyota dealership, the replacement windshield will not be available until august 8th which is nearly a month away from now. The claim was reported in early june. Due to this immense amount of inconvenience caused by this national shortage, i would appreciate it if toyota corporation would take responsibility and pay for my rental car until this issue is resolved--starting july 21st. Finally, perhaps there needs to be a recall. You can e-mail me at [xxx] and/or [xxx]. Thank you. *dl
