The windshield cracked two times within two years. First time, there was no visible sign (or noise) of any rock hitting windshield as I parked the car in sun. When I came back to parking, the windshield was cracked and the crack extended in length as I drove. It costs me $500 in insurance deductible for geico insurance to have windshield replaced. The windshield again cracked in april 2019 the second time when I was driving on interstate 10 at about 50 miles per hour. I saw a tiny mark on one edge of windshield (probably a tiny pebble hit from road) and the crack spread quickly to one foot after driving just five miles. This'll cost me $600 as per my insurance geico. I have owned six brand new cars for several years and had never had a large windshield crack from heat and small pebble hit. Two large windshield cracks within two years have got to be a defect in es 350 2017 windshield (or manufacturing defect). I know there are sensors under the windshield in 2017 es 350. Lexus should fix the manufacturing defect in its 2017 es 350 windshield.
