What owners say
Spontaneous crack in the windshield without any external mechanixal force, such as rock, hale, or any other foreign body.
This morning, I noticed a crack on the windshield of my 2021 Toyota Venza. The car was parked outside in the cold, and it seems like there’s some issue with the Toyota windshields, as it cracked for no apparent reason.
Windshield cracked (apparently from the edge) during highway driving in normal conditions for no clear reason. The windshield has not yet been replaced but replacement is expected to be replaced in the week ending 1/11/25. Crack appears to start on the passenger side of middle, on the lower edge of the windshield. This area is behind the windshield wipers and is shielded by the hood. The crack extended upwards, then turned towards the drivers side. The Toyota dealer that sold the vehicle refused to inspect the damage because they do not work on glass. Toyota Brand Engagement, the name of the group that responded to a support request expressly stated that glass is not covered under warranty and there is no current recall on this vehicle. They finished their rejection of my request for help with a suggestion that my insurance should be engaged to repair the failure. I have not engaged my insurance carrier on this.
With no impact, our windshield cracked. I see many, many other owners of 2021 and later Toyota Venza have had this happen to them. This is clearly a large problem, so I'm hoping that by reporting our incident you will be encouraged to investigate further. Please let me know if you need any additional information, but the key points are that there has been no impact to the windshield that we are aware of, and the windshield cracked while driving. Thank you for your attention t this matter.

I was driving down the freeway and my windshield unexpectedly cracked. I was not struck by a rock or other object, it cracked out of nowhere.
a small rockchip hit the windshield and caused a crack which quickly began to grow at an alarming rate. the crack grew to about the size of half the windshield in a one day time. The windshield is very surprisingly fragile.
HUGE crack developed suddenly in windshield. This is the third repair I have had to make. This windshield seems to crack easily - even the slightest hit damages the windshield.
