Lawsuit is only a solution when Toyota refuses to acknowledge the problem and warranty the work required to repair it.
This is exactly what I'm saying. It's not about suing just to sue, or whining, complaining, and being a cry baby. It's about the fact that Toyota has made an inferior, defective part and refuses to remedy the situation by other means. A lawsuit only arises when neither party can agree to figure out a disspute by themselves. Now, I'm sure those who've had their windshield damaged don't want a bazzillion dollars from Toyota. Just acknowledgement that the window is defective, and a the minimum an extended warranty on it, coverage for the repairs, and an agreement that Toyota will make the windshield better on future models, even if they have to reengineer it.
It's not asking for much in the whole scheme of things, really.
One difference I can see between how I drove my Jeeps vs. how I drive the FJ, I typically never went over 70 mph for any sustained amount of time in my Jeeps (no glass cracks EVER over a 10-year period), the wind noise was... exhausting, and my gas mileage would drop to less than 12 mpg (down to 10 mpg if I had kayaks or the Yakima box on the roof). But the FJ... it's happy at 90 mph (FJ glass CRACK in the first month of ownership), so there's something anyway.
Anyone have a mod or suggestion that you add on to avoid the rocks, anyone have a deflector or equivalent add on they can suggest. Any flat glass vehicle has similar problems, any suggestions would be appreciated, rather pay a vendor than an attorney. thanks
