Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I own a 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross XLE with very low mileage. The windshield cracked unexpectedly and Toyota replaced the windshield under manufacturer warranty on February 9, 2026.

The issue has now happened more than once on a nearly new vehicle. …”
