2017 Toyota Prius Prime visibility/wiper problems

“My 2017 Toyota Prius Prime has experienced a second windshield crack perhaps hit by a small object, which I didn't notice at all. The crack is a "L" shape, about 15 in at each direction. The firs Windshield crack was happened about a year ago. Toyota dealer replaced it with an original Toyota Windshield. I believe this particular Windshield type isn't strong enough to withstand a small stone hitting it. As I didn't notice any loud popping sound during driving”

“Windshield cracked from bottom to top and across while sitting and there was no evidence of a rock or chip that would cause that. Air temp was about 95 degrees. No rain, no impact, car was sitting parked and not running.”

“MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO REASON, WHILE IT WAS PARKED. THIS IS THE SECOND CRACK I GOTTEN ON MY WINDSHIELD FROM OWNING IT FOR 2 YEARS. THIS IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL, I DON'T DRIVE MY CAR VERY FAR, AND IT HAPPENED WHILE IT WAS PARKED.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE WIPER BLADE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF A RAIN STORM. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER, EXITED THE HIGHWAY, AND PURCHASED A NEW WIPER BLADE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE CONTACT HAD TO USE TOYOTA WIPER BLADES EVEN THOUGH THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW WHERE THEY COULD BE PURCHASED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME THE BLADES DETACHED AND THE BLADES WERE CURRENTLY ZIP TIED TO ASSURE THEY DID NOT DETACH. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.”

“CAR WAS PARKED IN PARKING LOT IN 100 DEGREE TEMPERATURE. WINDSHIELD HAD NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER. RETURNED TO CAR 4 HOURS LATER. TWO AND ONE-HALF FOOT CRACK, ORIGINATING IN BOTTOM DRIVER'S SIDE CORNER OF WINDSHIELD, APPEARED. NO CHIPS WERE PRESENT. DUE TO THE CRACK, VISIBILITY THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD IS COMPROMISED AND POSES A SAFETY RISK.”

“WE PARKED THE CAR AND WENT FOR A HIKE. UPON RETURNING TO THE CAR, WE NOTICED A FOOT LONG CRACK HAD FORMED IN THE WINDSHIELD. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE CONNECTED TO ANY CHIPS OR DAMAGE TO THE WINDSHIELD.”
