2017 Toyota Tacoma Visibility & Wipers Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT APPROXIMATELY 4:00 AM, THE DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER. AT SUNRISE, THE CONTACT NOTICED A FRACTURE ALONG THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IN THE PROXIMITY OF THE DEFROSTER. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS NO PRIOR INDICATION THAT THE WINDSHIELD HAD BEEN STRUCK BY DEBRIS. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

I HAVE A 2017 TOYOTA TACOMA WITH 90,000 MILES ON IT. THE WIND SHIELD IS NOT VERY RESISTANT TO ABRASION, AS THE WINDOW HAS NOW BECOME CLOUDY DUE TO THE ABRASIVENESS OF ROAD DUST, ETC., ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SUN IS AT A LOW ANGLE. SEE THE ATTACHED PICTURE. I DON'T KNOW IF OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS BUT I THINK A BETTER QUALITY WIND SHIELD IS NEEDED TO HELP PREVENT THIS PITTING AND CHIPPING. IT CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE ANYTHING THAT IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE DURING DRIVING, WHEN THE SUN GLARE SHINES AGAINST THE PITS AND CHIPS. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON ANY VEHICLE UNDER A FEW YEARS OLD.

WHILE TRAVELING ON I-20 EAST ON MONDAY 8/27 NEAR THE PELL CITY EXIT A PIECE OF ASPHALT WAS KICKED UP BY A TRUCK AND HIT MY WINDSHIELD CAUSING A LARGE CRACK 3 FEET IN LENGTH ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD. THE ASPHALT PEBBLE IS PART OF THE ONGOING ROAD CONSTRUCTION ON I-20.

WHILE DRIVING ON HWY 80 NEAR VACAVILLE, CA,, SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. WE STOPPED ON SHOULDER OF ROAD AND UPON OPENING HATCH COVER, SAW HOLE IN CENTER OF SUNROOF. TOYOTA DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY.
