2021 Toyota Venza Hybrid

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.

The contact owns a 2021 Toyota Venza. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the vehicle failed to open or start. The contact was able to jumpstart the vehicle with some assistance and the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that there was an error in the firmware of the vehicle that caused the vehicle to constantly communicate the status to the manufacturer leading to the battery failure. The dealer informed the contact that the failure was related to a TSB. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the owner needed to report the failure to the dealer for the TSB to be accessed. The approximate failure mileage was 5,500.

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.

While traveling in CT on Sunday 7/11/21 a small pea sized stone struck windshield directly in front of driver position about 10 inches up from bottom of glass. Within 10 miles the windshield cracked to the bottom edge from the original contact area and additionally up and across windshield to a total length of about 20 inches. The original damage likely could have been repaired but with the run of the crack now has to be replaced. Multiple others have reported this issue on the Venza. Pics available for review by government or Toyota representatives. Windshield is being scheduled for replacement in the next week or so.

On May 19, 2021, 5 days after purchasing the 2021 Venza XLE, I got a rock peck about 6 inches from the bottom on the driver side center of the windshield. I was on my way home and stopped by a windshield repair shop to see if it could be repaired to avoid further damage. The repair shop said it could and to return the following noon with the car. By the following morning, the small peck had turned into a 12 inch long run. Now it's about 30 inches long. A replacement windshield ($964 for the part) has been ordered but is on back-order with no projected delivery date. There are no aftermarket options.
