Consumer Description

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.
