A small pebble hit my windshield below the inspection sticker. Within seconds a crack starting developing. Within two minutes it reached almost halfway across the windshield. I have read many complaints about fragile and vulnerable prius windshields. I believe toyota needs to correct this defect, repair my windshield and perform any necessary re-calibration. I have uploaded two pictures.
