| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I was driving on route 50 over the kent narrow bridge in maryland when i heard a loud crash. I then heard the sound of wind and glass breaking. I look up at my sunroof and saw broken glass and a large hole in the sun roof. The sun roof exploded out, so there was very little glass in the car. I did not see any objects that would have cause this or any trucks near me that would have dropped anything. Thank god the sun roof exploded out and no broken glass came into the car which could have resulted in a severe accident. Toyota is bulking at covering this under warranty. This is a severe safety issue and should be look at very carefully. I have pictures if needed. |
