WINDSHIELD HAD RECEIVED NUMEROUS CHIPS AND PITS EVENTUALLY CRACKING WITHIN THE FIRST 5000 MILES. PREVIOUS JEEP WRANGLER WITH VERTICAL WINDSHIED STILL IN GREAT SHAPE AFTER 100K MILE. I TRULY BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FJ CRUISER WINDSHIELD THAT IT IS DAMAGED SO EASILY. AT $1500.00 TO REPLACE THIS IS AN INSURANCE NIGHTMARE. *TR

I HAVE 2 WINDSHIELDS FAIL IN LESS THAN 5 MONTHS. MINOR PEBBLES HAVE CRACKED BOTH WINDSHIELDS AT LEAST 12 INCHES OR MORE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE WINDSHIELDS ARE NOT DESIGNED PROPERLY OR MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY. THERE IS A RISK SOMEONE WILL BE CRITICALLY HURT WHEN A LARGE STONE OR OTHER OBJECT HITS THIS GLASS. *JB

WITHIN 2500 MILES OF OWNING MY NEW FJ CRUISER A SMALL ROCK FLEW UP AND CHIPPED MY DRIVERS WINDSHIELD. WHILE IT IS NOT A VIEWING HAZARD AND HAS NOT EXPANDED YET I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD LOOK INTO USING A BETTER GRADE PRODUCT AS THIS IS NOT A ISOLATED INCIDENT. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND IT IS COVERED WITH NO DETECTABLE UNDER MY INSURANCE BUT, OTHERS STATES DON'T HAVE THIS POLICY AND OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE A INFERIOR PRODUCT. *JB

I HAVE HAD MY FJ SINCE APRIL 23, 2006. THE WINDSHIELD ISSUE TOOK A LITTLE BIT LONGER TO CROSS MY PATH THAN IT SEEMS OTHERS. I WAS RIDING ALONG THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN I HEARD A SMALL SIZE PEBBLE HIT THE WINDSHIELD. DIDN'T THINK THAT MUCH OF IT BECAUSE IT WASN'T VERY LOUD. WELL I WAS MISTAKEN. LESS THAN 2 HOURS LATER IT HAD SPREAD TO A CRACK OF 6 INCHES. I COULDN'T EVEN GET IT REPAIRED. THAN I LOOKED AT THE FORUM AND SAW ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. I DON'T WANT TO REPLACE BECAUSE I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE RECALL OR SUBSEQUENT REIMBURSEMENT. I DID HEAR OF A COMPANY CALLED CLEARPLEX WHERE THEY CAN STRENGTHEN THE WINDSHIELD BY ADDING A CLEAR THING PLASTIC PROTECTIVE COATING. DON'T GET ME WRONG I LOVE MY FJ, BUT THIS IS NOT RIGHT. THEY DID THE RIGHT THING WITH THE TIRE RECALL AND THAT WAS PROBABLY 750 PER CAR, REPLACING ALL 5 TIRES PLUS LABOR. I TRUST THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING. *TR

MY STORY IS THIS: AT ABOUT 3000 MILES I WAS DRIVING HOME AND ABOUT HALFWAY THERE (WE LIVE ABOUT 5 MILES OUT OF TOWN), I TOOK A ROCK CHIP. I PROMPTLY TURNED RIGHT AROUND, WENT BACK TO TOWN, WHILE THE GLASS SHOP WAS STILL OPEN, AND HAD THE CHIP REPAIRED. I PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE AND THAT VERY NIGHT IT CRACKED ABOUT 8". IT WAS IN THE FALL AS I REMEMBER, SO IT WAS NOT A PARTICULAR HOT NOR COLD DAY OR NIGHT. IT SEEMED TO ME AT THE TIME (AND STILL DOES) THAT THE WINDSHIELD MAY ACTUALLY BE "STRESSED" SOMEHOW, PUTTING ADDITIONAL PRESSURE ON IT, IN WAYS IT WAS NOT DESIGNED TO BE. AT PRESENT, THE CRACK IS HOLDING STEADY (I FIXED THAT TOO). *JB

I HAVE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE WINDSHIELD GLASS ON THE 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE SINCE NOVEMBER AND ALREADY I HAVE A CRACK CLEAR ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD, 4 CHIPS AND PITS EVERYWHERE. THE WAY TOYOTA DESIGNED THE GLASS TO THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE LEAVES YOU VULNERABLE. IT'S A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW, BECAUSE YOUR WINDSHIELD IS ALMOST AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE TO THE ROADWAY AND ANY TINY STONE WILL CREATE A BAD SITUATION. TO ADD TO THE PROBLEM THE GLASS APPEARS TO BE EXTREMELY TOO THIN. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS FLAW, NOT THE CONSUMER. ESPECIALLY SINCE A REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD COSTS A MERE $1500.00 DOLLARS A POP. PLEASE HELP! *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT A SAFE SPEED AND DISTANCE FROM OTHER CARS, WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE A ROCK CAME AT MY WINDSHIELD AND PUT A LARGE CRACK IN IT. THE WINDSHIELD OF MY TOYOTA 2007 FJ SEEMS TO BE INAPPROPRIATELY WEAK. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER VEHICLES WITH A VERTICAL WINDSHIELD AND HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY ONLY HAVING THE VEHICLE LESS THAN A YEAR. IT HAS SINCE HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT THIS INCIDENT I AM DESCRIBING IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. *TR
