TOYOTA PRIUS C 2012 car safety problem was reported on Sept 06, 2013.TOYOTA PRIUS C 2012, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD . windshield was chipped by some debris while driving on the highway going about 55 mph, the size was half a centimeter, if that. the next morning it turned into a 6 inch crack and has grown even bigger in the past couple weeks to where it has come to block my vision. other cars that i have owned had chips in the windshield, but never developed into a crack. i am thinking the windshield is too, too, thin for it to be practical for a vehicle traveling highway speeds and have read that this is a common occurrence among other owners. my biggest concern, if the debris is a little larger, will the windshield prevent penetration into the driver and/or passenger compartment so as no one will be harmed due to a thin windshield? *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 22000 miles.
