In january 2021, while sitting in the driveway an eight inch crack appeared in the middle of the windshield. The windshield was replaced in september 2020 after purchasing the vehicle as a repo. The windshield that was replaced was cracked the entire width of the glass in the exact same place where the new crack has appeared. The vehicle was taken to the repair shop and it has been determined that there is not enough support for the windshield built into the frame causing the damage to reappear. Since then the crack has continued up the windshield and is now approximately 14 inches.

We purchased the sienna new off the lot in 2015, and have had to replace the windshield 5 times due to cracks, and it's already cracked again. Sometimes it cracked due to pebbles or rocks hitting it, but other times it just cracked spontaneously. Once it cracked out of nowhere, and another time it was when we sprayed it with low-pressure water.

3 times the windshield has cracked, twice in the past 3 months. The crack starts down low near the edge and quickly spreads. There is a large body of evidence on the internet suggesting this malfunction is very common on this make and model and there has been no official recall from toyota.

My 2005 toyota sienna the upper dashboard(by the windshield & front airbags is cracking. I am highly concerned that these cracks will interfere with proper deployment of the front airbags in an accident situation. Also the upper dashboard may break apart in an accident situation and become airborne causing further injury to vehicle passengers. I have contacted toyota and was told it was only covered for 36,000 miles or 3 years despite the fact it can pose a safety issue. In researching the internet, I found other 2004-2007 toyota sienna and other people work to the same problems with the cracked dashboard and the warranty not cover.

In my 2004 toyota sienna xle limited awd, the upper dashboard(by the windshield & front airbags is cracking. I am highly concerned that these cracks will interfere with proper deployment of the front airbags in an accident situation. Also the upper dashboard may break apart in an accident situation and become airborne causing further injury to vehicle passengers. I have contacted toyota and was told it was only covered for 36,000 miles or 3 years despite the fact it can pose a safety issue.

2004 toyota sienna mini van - windshield cracks immediately even if it receives an extremely small (less than half a milimeter) stone chip on the edges of the windshield. As soon as there is an extremely small stone / pebble chip, it will crack right away.

I discovered my windshield was cracked recently. The length of the crack when discovered was approximately 2 1/2 inches. The crack is now approximately 12 inches long and causes visibility problems when the sun hits it (blinding reflections). I am concerned the windshield is no longer stable or safe. There is no visible rock chip, there is no other sign of injury to the windshield, and the vehicle has never been in an accident. Because the damage appears to be due to poor windshield quality (defective materials) and because other toyota sienna owners have experienced the same problem, I believe toyota is responsible for the cost of replacement of the defective windshield: a new windshield plus the cost of labor plus the cost of disposal of the defective windshield plus warranty on the new windshield.
