My 2005 toyota scion xb experienced a sudden and unexpected cracked windshield without any apparent cause. I noticed this is a common failure due to many complaints recorded on this website: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f0e5312/30.

My windshield inexplicably cracked.
Windshield crack. Twice!
The windshield in my vehicle is not very good. In the first two weeks it cracked and soon after I had another crack. I did not hear any hit on my windshield while driving. I think that it is the way the vehicle is built. I have heard the same complaint from other car owners so I thought I would voice me concern here. Thank you
I am now forced to replace my windshield for the third time on my scion xb 05'. Every time it starts out with a tiny chip that leads to a crack that spreads quickly. The design of the car and the angle of the glass contribute to this problem.
We have a 2005 scion xb we have had to have the windshield replaced twice so far due to cracks caused by rocks. In addition we have had to have chips repaired several times. I have heard that this seems to be a common issue with scion xb's but even though scion is no help. In all my years of having cars I have never had any type of problem like this and have never had to have a windsheild replaced. This car seems like you have to replace a windshield like you replace your oil !! I have contacted scion with no luck or no remendy.
