Description of the problem	I was driving to work on the highway and a small rock hit my windshield. Within minutes, a 6 inch crack had developed. By the time i arrived at work (about 15 minutes later), the crack has extended to over a foot. I called a local toyota dealership and asked if any known defects existed. I was told no recalls exists for my windshield. Spoke with my insurance agent and referred to safelite autoglass for replacement, since it could not be repaired. The next morning, i drove car to work again and noticed crack has progress a few more inches overnight. By the time i left work, the lateral extending crack has now started extending towards the middle of the windshield, formed a jagged c-shape. Visibility was now limited from the crack and from the glare from the sunlight reflecting off the cracks. I called safelite and was told that the only replacement windshield was an toyota oem, but that it was on backorder for another 3 weeks and at a cost of almost $800. Fearing another potentially dangerous driving condition, i did not attempt to drive my car until the windshield was replaced. Today, i was reading priuschat website and found that my case is certainly not an isolated incident. I am concerned now that since i replaced my windshield with an toyota oem part, i am again subjected to repeat danger vehicle condition and additional high cost of replacement.
