| Description of the problem | Driving 60 mph on interstate a piece of debris hit my windshield. The piece was so small i didn't even see it hit the windshield. The piece did pretty significant damage to the windshield and it spidered out in all different directions, larger than a quarter. My concern is that i have been in other vehicles and had debris hit the windshield the same situation that is larger and just barley put a nick in the windshield. Ive read on complaints about 16' and 17' models having this issue as well and it doesn't seem like toyota is addressing the issue. I am worried about the structural integrity of my windshield. |
