| Description of the problem | The rear sunroof on our car shattered for no apparent reason on 8/24/19 while we were driving on the freeway (i-15 in northern utah, around 8pm). There was no evidence of an impact from a foreign body when we were able to pull off and investigate. Initially the glass was cracked but intact, but when we continued down the road, the pieces started falling into the cloth cover. We contacted our local toyota dealer today (8/26/19) and the shop manager told my husband that this was the second incident he'd heard of with a 2018 highlander this month. |
