NHTSA Complaint #11083080 — 2015 TOYOTA SEQUOIA

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A CLEAR AND SUNNY DAY ON A HIGHWAY WITH FEW SURROUNDING VEHICLES, WHAT SEEMED LIKE EXPLOSION WAS FELT AND HEARD. A QUICK ASSESSMENT WAS MADE TO DETERMINE THAT THERE WAS NO ROAD DEBRIS, THE TIRES DID NOT BLOW OUT, AND THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH ANY SURROUNDING CARS. WHILE THE DRIVER SOUGHT A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER, THE PASSENGER LOOKED AROUND THE VEHICLE TO FIND ALL WINDOWS IN TACT AND SLIGHTLY OPENED THE MOON SHADE, TO DISCOVER THAT THE SUNROOF WAS CRACKED. AFTER PULLING OVER, THE SUNROOF WAS INSPECTED FROM THE EXTERIOR AND THE GLASS WAS NOTICEABLY BOWED OUTWARD, SUGGESTING AN EXPLOSION VS. AN ARTICLE HITTING THE GLASS TO CAUSE THE BREAK. NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF SUNROOF EXPLOSIONS HAVE BEEN FOUND ONLINE.
