2021 Toyota Venza VISIBILITY/WIPER

A large crack appeared on the windshield of my 2021 Toyota Venza. Due to this being a safety issue when driving the vehicle, so I looked into having it repaired by a local shop. When the Venza was taken to the repaired, the repair shop notified me that the issue didn't originate from a rock/chip. The issue was with the windshield or the windshield installation. After a quick Google search, it came to my attention that this is a frequent issue with this year and make. There are class action lawsuits about this issue. This needs to be addressed by Toyota.

I bought this vehicle when new in 2021 and I started to see people complain about the quality of the windshield and how they were getting cracks from rocks on it. I’m [XXX] , and never had a windshield replaced in my life. After seeing people post this, I added windshield coverage to my car. Last year I had a rock hit my windshield and it cause a small star like crack. Right away I called the insurance company and was able to take care of it that day. Few days ago I hear another rock ding. Had nobody in front of me but think it was from the car on the side of me kicked it up. Some time passed and I saw the crack coming down the middle of the next morning it was even longer. From the top of the window down past my camera. I have an appointment for replacement this week. What I was reading seems to be true. Never in my life had I have this happen, had plenty of rocks hit my vehicles over the year. Never had one crack. I know they exist but seeing it form a lot of Venza owners tells you something. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The crack has continuted to grow and on 10/14/22 is in excess of 2 feet long, with approximately 19,000 miles.

My new 2021 Toyota Venza front windshield spontaneously develops small cracks and micro-fractures. I noticed the first crack on the driver's side within about 6 months after purchasing the Venza. Since then, I the windshield has developed hundreds of tiny fractures which are especially noticeable when the sun shines through the windshield, just after sunrise or just before sunset. When the sun hits the cracks in the windshield, they all light up at once and the bright lights impede visibility. The windshield was inspected by the Toyota service department on two separate occasions. It was explained that the windshield is not covered by the usual car warranty or extended warranty. It was suggested by the service technician and service manager that the cracks were possibly due to gravel or sand hitting the windshield, which is considered normal wear and tear by Toyota. I explained that I have less than 18,000 miles on my car, I drive on only paved roads, and have never been pelted by gravel or sand. My car is also kept in a garage when not in use.
