Rx 450h Windshield cracks - 3 times in a year
Has anyone else had problems with their windshields on this model? The first month I had my car, there were stress cracks at the bottom corner of the window. It was replaced by dealer. Next time I was driving on freeway and the windshield was chipped by two pebbles. Replaced with Lexus glass. Third time another "pebble" has chipped the glass AGAIN. Three times in one year?! I have never in my life needed windshield replacement and now all of a sudden with my Lexus 450h it is 3 times in one year. It seems there is a deflect in the strength of this glass.
Please report of others are having similar issues....

In Texas, I had on two different occasion pebbles hit my windshield and crack it in a year. Texas is one of the worse places for this problem since there are many construction, gardening, dump, commercial and personal trucks constantly trowing stuff on the road. Then add to that hail damage! I know several people that work at windshield repair companies and they say they are busy all year long. After a while, people learn to keep distance and switch lanes often to avoid debris from trucks...

Just bad luck. No conspiracy.
