Consumer Description

ON FEBRUARY 19 2009, THE SUNROOF ON MY 2008 SCION TC SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. AS I WAS DRIVING AT 40 MPH ON A PAVED ROAD, WITH THE WINDOWS UP AND THE SUNROOF CLOSED, A LOUD BANG (SIMILAR TO A GUNSHOT) OCCURRED. GLASS SPRAYED ALL OVER THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE WIND DEFLECTOR WAS STUCK IN THE UP POSITION AND THE SUNROOF BULGED. THE POSTERIOR PORTION OF THE VEHICLE HAD SCRATCHES IN THE PAINT FROM THE EXPLOSION. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT COVER DAMAGE AS WARRANTY REPAIR AND INSISTED I GO THROUGH MY INSURANCE. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT AN INDEPENDENT BODY SHOP AND HAVE THE DAMAGED SUNROOF IN MY POSSESSION. THIS ISN'T AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THERE ARE OTHER TC OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
