While steadily accelerating on a freeway onramp, the vehicle suddenly accelerated, surged and gained speed rapidly without my control. I took action by braking and slowing the vehicle to a safe freeway speed. Thankfully no one in my vehicle was hurt and no other vehicle was near during the incident. There were no warning messages. The first time I experienced this unintended acceleration was the first month when this brand new vehicle was purchased from a local Toyota dealer. I was turning into my driveway from a residential street, the car suddenly accelerated while I was in the middle of turn. I immediately/emergently stopped by stepping on the brake, I could have crashed into the power pole if I did not stop. Because this was a new car, I convinced myself I was unfamiliar with its controls. But since the second occurrence, I am greatly concerned about this random "unintended acceleration". The Toyota Venza had been dropped off at our local Toyota dealer for inspection and hopefully repair.

Don't recall anything unusual hitting my windshield (other than sandy grit), but when I drove it today there is a small chip and 12" crack. I have driven cars for 35 years and have never had such a fragile windshield on a car. I think it is defective, because I read about a bunch of other people having the same issue on this Toyota Nation site (and also Facebook)- https://www.toyotanation.com/threads/windshield-repair.1695878/ It is not very safe to have people drive around with windshields like this, especially if it is the fault of poor manufacturing. And even though you are supposed to get it fixed with insurance, I am not in a place right now to afford the deductible to get it fixed.

Windshield cracked passenger side with 2.5 inch circular area defect, with crack from passenger edge to midpoint. There was no traffic at the time in front of me or oncoming traffic. Was in an area of just grasslands on paved road. Temperature was in the 80's. Speed at 75mph. Sunny day. No known rock hit prior to this. Purchase July 2021.

Wind screen of new Venza is very vulnerable to chipping. In first 7 months of driving it happened twice. On same route I drove Prius for 230,000 miles with no issues. It seems the glass is not tough enough and with slight hit by stone it easily breaks. This happened while I was on a stop sign waiting for other vehicle to pass.

I got hit by an unknown vehicle while I left my car parked then to work.

An object, possibly a rock, flew up from the road and caused a chip in the windshield that turned into a crack from the far left side of the windshield to the middle. I have had several other vehicles in the past that rocks have hit the windshield and no damage was done.

1 month after buying vehicle i heard as if a rock hit the car. I assume that-??s what happened but i did not see it hit. When i got home, i saw a chip in the lower edge of the passenger side (in the black part of the glass) on the windshield. There have been no appointments to repair, but 6 weeks after, the windshield cracked overnight while sitting in the garage. The crack formed an arc towards the driver side and is about 18 inches long. I have noticed reporte of other owners reporting the exact same thing, so thought i would report based on how similar their accounts are to my experience.

Small rock hit windshield causing it to immediately crack 12-?? long and in an arc. In 55 years driving never had this occurrence. Checked website and apparently there are quite a few incidents of the same size of crack and arc happening in 2021 Venza. Wondered if there is a manufacturers defect with this windshield.
