Windshield cracked right below windshield wiper on passenger side. No damage prior to crack, appears windshield failed. Car is not even two years old yet. Reading online this is a common failure point for the windshield on the Rav4, but Toyota will not acknowledge it.

Front windshield defroster is located in the center 1/2 of the windshield, but not on the left or right side. As such, the left and right side of the windshield will ice-over during normal winter snow conditions. Additionally, passenger-side windshield wiper falls outside of the defroster and will freeze over, allowing the wiper to build-up ice that may scratch the windshield. Because of the automatic weather system, it is also possible to ruin your windshield wiper motor from the automatic weather system turning the wipers on to full in an attempt to try and remove the ice. Because the ice never melts, it can't wipe the ice off and thus continues wiping at full-speed. If this persists, motor will burn-out leaving both wipers out of commission. I had this problem while driving on a mountain highway in normal snow conditions. Both sides of windshield located outside of the center 1/2 froze over and became hard to defrost, and the passenger-side wiper had an ice build-up. Seems to affect the 2019-2021 model Rav4 as well as some 4runner models with the same defroster build.

My windshield was hit by a small rock from the van on the left lane. It caused a chip but it cracked almost 15 inches across my windshield. I have seen chip from my previous vehicles but it never left a crack, that insurance covered it with no deductible. Other than needing the windshield to be replaced, it needs to be calibrated too or some sensors won't work. That's another $390 plus tax from Toyota service center. I spoke to a representative from autoglass now located at raleigh, nc, that I contracted to replace my windshield, she said they've been getting a lot of rav 4 lately with the same issue. This is so frustrating. I went to the grocery store and spent $20, just to spend $600 cos of a broken windshield. Toyota put a cheap kind of glass that it cracked by a small rock. This vehicle isn't cheap either. Toyota, what can you do for us consumers? this is such a hassle and expensive inconvenience.
