NHTSA Complaint #10397719 — 2007 SCION TC

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AT 6 AM ON AN INTERSTATE GOING 65 MPH. WHEN I HEARD A LARGE "BOOM" SOUND. I FELT A LARGE RUSH OF AIR AND GLASS BEGAN TO FALL ON ME. (IT WAS SUNNY AND APPROXIMATELY 40 DEGREES). MY ALL OF MY WINDOWS, INCLUDING THE SUNROOF, WERE ALL CLOSED AT THE TIME OF THIS EXPLOSION. THIS SOUND WAS A RESULT OF MY SUNROOF EXPLODING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED FOR DEBRIS, OR ANYTHING THAT MAY OF CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. I FOUND NOTHING. THERE WAS NO OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME, AND NO OVERPASS I DROVE UNDER. WHEN LOOKING AT THE CAR FROM THE OUTSIDE, THE (FRONT) SUNROOF LOOKED LIKE A VOLCANO, RISING UP FROM THE CAR WITH JAGGED EDGES AROUND IT. THERE IS NO POSSIBLE EXPLANATION OF WHY THIS HAPPENED!! I NOTICED THAT MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM SCION OWNERS HAD THE SAME OCCURRENCE WITH THEIR SUNROOFS. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CERTIFIED TOYOTA DEALER, AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SPENT THE DAY INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE OF THIS SUDDEN EXPLOSION. ALL MECHANISMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUNROOF WERE WORKING PROPERLY AND WERE NOT DEFECTED. AFTER MY EXPERIENCE AND READING THE EXPERIENCES OF OTHER SCION OWNERS, I AM CONCERNED OF WHY THIS HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA OR THE NHTSA? THE NOISE OF THIS INCIDENT CAUSED MY TO SWERVE AND PANIC. IT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION AND COULD'VE LED TO AN ACCIDENT, INJURY OR DEATH OF MYSELF AND/OR OTHER MOTORISTS. WHY WAS THE GLASS NOT SAFETY GLASS? WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN TO A SUNROOF WITH NO APPARENT CAUSE? I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I NOR ANYONE ELSE WAS NOT INJURED FROM THIS OCCURRENCE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER! THANK YOU!
