Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HOME FROM INDIANA ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN HER MOON ROOF OVER THE BACK SEAT BLEW UP. SHE WAS TRAVELING AT AROUND 72 MPH WHEN SHE HEARD AN EXPLOSION. THANK GOD THERE WERE NO CARS IMMEDIATELY TO HER SIDE AS SHE SWERVED BUT MANAGED TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR. SHE HAD TO CONTINUE FROM INDIANAPOLIS TO ST. LOUIS WITH THE FEAR OF THE SUNROOF DOING THE SAME. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE. THANK GOD NOBODY WAS INJURED OTHER THAN SOME CUTS FROM PULLING OUT LARGE CHUNKS OF GLASS THAT SHE WAS AFRAID WOULD BLOW OFF AND HIT OTHER CARS. WHEN I ASKED TOYOTA ABOUT IT THEY JUST SAID " IT'S BEEN KNOWN TO HAPPEN". I SHOWED THEM THE PHOTOS AND THEY SAID THAT PRESSURE CAN BUILD UP TO CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN OR SOMETIMES HEAT. THE TEMP WAS ONLY AROUND 68- LOW 70'S. IF THEY KNOW THIS CAN HAPPEN THEN MAYBE THESE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.
