Due to the upright position of the windshield a small rock can cause stars which lead to multiple leader cracks. Due to grill design and position of A/C condenser a small rock can puncture causing a leak and require replacement costs of up to $1100 on a 4 month old car. Toyota needs to realize that their design has major flaws with positioning. Unfortunately, rocks are everywhere and if you drive any at all on the freeway you are surely going to encounter some.
