NHTSA Complaint #10577719 — 2005 SCION TC

WHEN I RETURNED TO MY CAR THAT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE HOURS, I FOUND THAT THE DEFLECTOR WAS RAISED AND THE SUNROOF WAS ENTIRELY SHATTERED. THE "LEGS" OF THE DEFLECTOR APPEARED TO HAVE BROKEN THROUGH THE GLASS, AS THE SUNROOF WAS SEVERELY CRACKED AND BROKEN ALONG EACH OF ITS FOUR EDGES. I HAD NOT USED THE SUNROOF PRIOR TO PARKING MY CAR THAT MORNING. UPON READING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, I DO RECALL ALSO HAVING HEARD AN EXTREMELY LOUD POP WHILE DRIVING, BUT THE SUNROOF DID NOT SHATTER UNTIL SOME TIME AFTER WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED. *TR
