2019 Lexus NX300

ON DECEMBER 28 RETURNING FROM A CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY MY WINDSHIELD WAS HIT BY A PEBBLE IN THE RAIN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT STARTED AS A SMALL STAR AT THE POINT OF IMPACT BUT THE WINDSHIELD BEGAN TO CRACK ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. I TOOK IT TO LEXUS MY LEXUS TIRE AND WINDSHIELD INSURANCE DID NOT COVER THE CRACKED WINDSHIELD. I SPENT A $500 DEDUCTIBLE FROM MY CAR INSURANCE AND HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED. I NEVER HAVE SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. I HAD A TOYOTA 1996 CAMRY NEW FOR 23 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PEBBLE GROW FROM A STAR SHAPE NICK TO A FULL ON CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD, THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I DO NOT THINK THIS WINDSHIELD IS SAFE. I TOOK THE CAR TO BE FIXED AND HAD IT REPLACED WITH THE LEXUS OEM WINDSHIELD TO KEEP THE CAR WITH LEXUS STANDARD EARLY JANUARY 2019. I USED A LEXUS VENDOR TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD. JANUARY 16, 2019 1.5 WEEKS LATER I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN RAINY WEATHER WITH THE NEWLY INSTALLED WINDSHIELD A PEBBLE HITS IT A STAR SHAPE SHOWS UP. IT DIDN'T CRACK IMMEDIATELY, THIS TIME (THE SECOND TIME) THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED OVER NIGHT. I WAS GOING TO TAKE IT TO LEXUS TO FIX IT UNDER MY INSURANCE PLAN, BUT BY MORNING IT HAD CRACKED OVER NIGHT. NOW, I HAD TO SPEND ANOTHER $500.00 DEDUCTIBLE TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY, WHILE THE FIRST CLAIM WAS STILL BEING PROCESSED. THE 2019 LEXUS NX 300 IS FAULTY I AM VERY CONCERNED. THE WINDSHIELD IS REPLACE BUT I AM DRIVING ON THE DEFENSE EVERYDAY AFRAID THAT MY WINDSHIELD IS GOING TO BE HIT AGAIN. I WOULD REQUEST THAT LEXUS RECALLS THE 2019 LEXUS NX 300 WINDSHIELDS THEY ARE NOT SAFE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 35 MPH I HEARD A LIGHT "CLICKING" SOUND AND NOTICED A 0.5 INCH STAR-SHAPED CRACK RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. AS I CONTINUED DRIVING THE CRACK STARTED GROWING ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD EVEN WHEN I PARKED THE CAR. OVERNIGHT, IT EXPANDED HORIZONTALLY AS CAN BE SEEN FROM THE ATTACHED "BEFORE AND AFTER" PHOTO AND IS NOW ALMOST 80% OF THE WINDSHIELD WIDTH. IN MY 50 YEARS OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE HAVING BEEN THROUGH A GOOD DOZEN OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT WHEN TINY CHIPS OR CRACKS WOULD QUICKLY EXPAND TO THAT ENORMOUS SIZE. BECAUSE OF THE FAST CRACK PROPAGATION THIS IS POTENTIALLY A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT FOR THE DRIVERS WHICH SHOULD BE REPORTED TO THE GLASS MANUFACTURER TO FIX IT.
