Description of the problem	Bought this 2017 highlander brand-new from the dealer. It had 67 miles on the odometer. Within a few thousand miles, a stone chipped the windshield and within days the windshield was a spider's nest of spreading cracks all across up and down the windshield. I bought a new 2015 highlander from the same dealer and had the exact same problem after just a few thousand miles. I believe toyota slanted the hood of the vehicle down for better airflow and resulting mpg increase and in so doing, all road debris such as stones, are propelled up right onto the windshield and the stones smash the windshield. What are the random odds that a brand-new, dealer-bought 2015 and 2017 highlander would both get a stone chip that destroys the windshield within the first few thousand miles of driving? These windshield aren't cheap to replace- about $1400.
