I don't know about your specific warranty, but we have an 07 ES that had a similar problem like you describe. The dealer wouldn't/couldn't fix it, so we took it to the factory. They re-fiberglassed several times, none of which held. In fact, we were half way back to TX when a crack started again. We took it back and they brought in engineers who determined it was not the frame, but the fiberglass wouldn't flex enough so they split it about 1/4 inch wide and put a piece of metal over it. This gave a wide enough split to flex--not really a pretty cosmetic touch, but it worked and it's fixed. If your crack is like ours was, it will not do anything but get bigger and wider. We worked with Tom Peck at the factory and he was great and wanted us happy. You might want to give him a call if he's still there or talk to someone at the factory as I don't think a dealer will give you any satisfaction.
