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.

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.

Windshield 20 inch crack with no rock impact, no visible impact mark. Multiple other owners reporting same issue. Windshield is soft and cracking due to flex in car, or small projectile impact that should not cause major spidering cracks

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.

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.

Windshield cracked. Car only has about 4500 miles. Many other 2021 Venza owners are experiencing the same issue. Obstructed visibility is a major hazard.

i am writing to complain of cracking the vehicle windshield. the vehicle is a Toyota Venza 2021 and it has been cracked very soon after two weeks that I have got from dealership. i think that is very vulnerable part of this new vehicle and is a malfunction, since my other past vehicles never had such failures in the winshield like this. i have had this problem more than three months ago and still after three month, Toyota has not provided it to me. it is extending rapidly and I have to drive with cracked winshiekld. i have ordered that on august 2021 at Toyota Westminister Vancouver and still agter three month they just update the date to the next month. I have submitted my full ICBC insurance and an extra insurance to the dealership at parts section, but they say this is a National back order for both Canada and States. As I said I live in Vancouver Canada, i had to put a different address in states to submit, you can reach me via my Email. Thanks

While driving on the freeway I heard what sounded like a tiny pebble hit the front windshield. Shortly after while driving I noticed a crack in the shape of an arc appeared from the passenger side bottom of the windshield towards the upper center of the windshield. This crack continues to grow as I drove. Even parked, the crack has expanded slightly.

I bought a Toyota Venza, I made my first road trip and with approximately 800 miles traveled a small rock rubbed my windshield and became a big rock chip, I took it to repair on safelite and it was not 100, it is still crashed. I have read that several people have had the same incident, I am concerned that this is an issue of failures in the security systems with the front windshield.

Pebble hit windshield. No initial damage 1/2 hour later, windshield crack across entire windshield. This appears to be happening to other 2021 Venza based on internet comments. There has been 2 month delay in fixing. Still not fixed. Local Toyota says there is back order of 500 windshields. This is brand new model. The number of back order sounds excessive.
