2003 Toyota Matrix Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“This morning I discovered a crack in the windshield spanning 3/4 of the length of the windshield, across the bottom above the wipers, in an inverted u-shape. The crack does not go all the way through the glass. It was not present last night when the vehicle was parked for the night.

“The front passenger window developed an issue where it would become stuck and promptly make a loud pop as it became unstuck while retracting the window down. The final failure came when it made very loud pop and the window would not move after that. The Toyota dealership replaced the.”
