Description of the problem	I had a very small pebble hit my windshield while driving slowly on a residential street. The initial impact caused several significant cracks running lengthwise and widthwise across my windshield instead of just staring or pitting as traditionally occurs. This is my third prius and i have never experienced a windshield responding this way. It appears online that this has become a very common problem and it is extremely costly since they currently do not have an aftermarket available. As well as requiring $600+ recalibration. I am extremely disappointed in toyota. I am concerned that i am going to pay $1500 to get this fixed (since my insurance uses my deductable) only for it to break again due to a minor instance (as many have complained online). My understanding is that the new windshield is thinner/ lighter for mpg. Is this not covered on some sort of warranty or recall? I'm very upset that this has occurred and have always been extremely loyal to toyota, im at a point where i just want to drive with it cracked to avid having to fix future cracked windshields.
