| Description of the problem | 2 weeks after buying a 2010 toyota venza the sunroof exploded with no reason. There was no scratch marks. It was something from inside out. In my opinion it was caused by the heat. The car was parked outside exposed to sun all day. Toyota at first refused to pay the repair. But now they are replacing the sunroof but still without checking the reason for the incident. The noise was so strong and could have caused a major accident. |
