2006 Scion XB wipers, windshield & visibility problems

Due to the upright position of the windshield a small rock can cause stars which lead to multiple leader cracks. Due to grill design and position of A/C condenser a small rock can puncture causing a leak and require replacement costs of up to $1100 on a 4 month old car. Toyota needs to realize that their design has major flaws with positioning. Unfortunately, rocks are everywhere and if you drive any at all on the freeway you are surely going to encounter some.

Had vehicle for a year when my windshield cracked for the first time. A year later another crack appeared. I did research and it seems like this model in particular had windshield problems and continuously cracked easily. I believe this is a huge safety issue as it affects visibility tremendously and continues to be an ongoing occurrence. As most warranty have expired by now, a recall on these windshield should be in processed.
