Wind deflector for moonroof shattered. Was going 25 MPH in residential area. Was not hit by any object, rocks, etc.. No one was near me or in front or back. Other complaints found at [link removed]
Defective windshield on 2006 scion xb. The windshield is extremely prone to chips and has acquired at least a dozen in routine driving situations. Now there is a long squiggled crack across the drivers side windshield, not related to any chips. I have seen the same exact distinctive crack in other scion xb cars. My vehicle does not qualify for the class action settlement related to this defect because of high mileage, even though the defects surfaced when it was brand new.
