| Description of the problem | This part is not on nhtsa affected parts lists and needs to be under (sunroof / moonroof /panorama ) while driving from florida just outside the lincoln tunnel on a sunny 65 degree morning (7:30 am, sunday) we hear a loud boom. Nothing was in front of us, no overpass. I slide the moonroof (all other cars call it a sunroof) cover back and glass falls in - it look as if it had exploded upward. Thank goodness i had the cover closed. Dealership determines it was caused by impact because of the glass break pattern. I asked him if he had ever seen the pattern of glass if it was defective, if there would show a weak point. He said he had not and then said he did not know for sure - it was just from his experience he determined this - everyone at dealership had never heard of a spontaneous blow out in the moonroof /sunroof. There is a lot documented on edmunds. Com and other places so i sent links to this info to the dealerships. I have opened a case with toyota, they have yet to determine. They need to be held responsible - they need to de research - we could have been hurt if the cover was opened. |
