Description of the problem | Topic: prius cracked windshield i have a 2017 prius purchased new about a month ago with about 1500 miles driven. 2 days ago, when i pulled to a gas station to pump gas, i noticed a small cracks on upper right hand along the edge of windshield. Yesterday, the cracks developed into 12 in. Long. Checked thickness between fingers, it is about same as that of a drinking glass, very thin for a car. Quick check on internet revealed this is very common issue with prius 2016 or newer. Called toyota and was informed this is not a manufacture defect. I've own several cars from toyota and honda with no issue with rock hitting. Please check investigate this issue to see if it is a design mistake in pursue of weight reduction. Thank you. |
