The windshield had a quality issue concern, we inform the dealership and vehicle manufacturer for this concern but didn't receive solution regards this product quality issue. It become greater concern since its a very new vehicle and we doubt should be replace original windshield parts because this quality concern.

My car was parked overnight in an uncovered hotel parking lot in Irving Texas. When I walked to my car in the morning, I discovered a long, arched crack, that was not there when I last drove the car the previous evening. The part of the crack that is visible to the driver is about 12 inches long, but the crack extends below, in the tinted black area, for another 6 inches or so. I believe there may be a tiny chip in the glass just below the line where the glass changes from black to clear. To-date no repair/replacement has been made, so it is available for inspection. This is a safety hazard because a compromised windshield is weakened and may crack further, decreasing the driver's visibility, as well as increasing the risk that it could shatter. My understanding is that there are a number of other Venza owners who have experienced the same thing, many of whom have filed reports with NHTSA.

While driving in June 2021, my 2021 Toyota Vensa had a small pebble hit the front windshield and this caused a large horizontal crack along the line of vision in the vehicle. This small pebble does not usually produce any damage to a front windshield.

I am leasing 2021 Venza XLE. The vehicle was purchased on 03/2021 and it has ~8000 miles on it today (02/21/2022) On 02/20/2022, at the stop sign, I heard striking sound followed by visible crack on the front windshield, bottom side near driver seat. It wasn't obviously caused by hitting from any objects but by no reason. After some investigation, I found that this complaint is not particular but more general / reproducible among the 2021 Venza owners: https://www.toyotanation.com/threads/windshield-repair.1695878/page-2 This defect would cause serious visibility issue as well as potential safety of driver. It looks like Toyota is not taking an action to cover the ramification of this defect.

windshield breaks easily

Just purchased the car in first week of January. In the second week of February for about 1141 miles driven, a crack of about 12 inches at the bottom of the windshield (photo attached) appeared for no reason while stopping at work. Upon inspection, a seemingly small pebble, probably an ice salt of about 1mm, may have hit earlier (photo attached) which should not result in such a large crack.

- Marietta, OK, USA

The vehicle was parked in a parking lot for several hours. After returning to the vehicle, it was found that a crack had appeared on the drivers side of the windshield that was approximately 12 inches long, starting at the bottom left of the windshield, and moving upwards. The crack is right through the middle of where the driver must look when driving down the road, which is a safety hazard. The salesman at the dealer stated that he hadn't heard about this problem, but in looking online, many others have complained about the same vehicle having windshield cracking issues. The vehicle is scheduled to be inspected by the dealer tomorrow.

Windshield cracked when rock hit it.

- Canton, GA, USA

Very fragile windshield. Although this may be hard to measure, I only had a very small rock hit and the windshield cracked. I've been driving for 25 years (16 cars and suvs) and never had such a small impact create a significant crack. It created a visibility issue and I'm worried about future issues.
