Consumer Description

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.
