Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My rear windshield shattered spontaneously while I was parked at work. The shatter pattern doesn't indicate an external force shattering the glass. The work cameras also corroborate that nobody or nothing was near my vehicle when it could have happened. There was no warning or indication of this happening.”
NHTSA complaint #11771448, filed 2026-10“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. Shortly after the replacement, the windshield cracked again. The vehicle currently has only a few thousand miles (3315 mileage) I am concerned there may be a defect involving the windshield, vehicle structure, frame stress, or windshield installation. The issue has now happened more than once on a nearly new vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #11736631, filed 2026-05“I was driving on my way into work on highway 169 Northbound going 65 mph in the left lane with nobody in the front of me, and nobody to the right of me, and head a loud popping noise, turns out that my windshield cracked. It started as a 6 -8 crack, and then it grew across the entire windshield over a couple of days. The crack is on the inside of the car, not on the outside, which means that it does not have an impact point on it. A crack to suddenly appear with a loud pop is a stress fracture. To have a windshield spontaneously crack while driving is extremely concerning. …”
NHTSA complaint #11748624, filed 2026-07“The wipers spontaneously activated and would not stop, it did not respond to any of the wiper controls, It would not stop even when the car was turned off. The only way to get the wipers to stop was to remove the relay.”
