NHTSA Complaint #11660305 — 2024 LEXUS TX

I was driving on a highway around 65mph, about 1:30PM on May 11, 2025. The temperature outside was about 70 degree F. I heard a very loud noise like a big firecracker exploding. Then I heard the sound of air coming from the sun roof. I opened the sun roof door and found the sun roof was shattered and had a big hole more than a foot in diameter. If I didn't close the sun roof door, I could had been injured by the exploding tempered glasses from the sun roof and lose control of my SUV. I drove to the Lexus dealership and leave my car there overnight since the service department was closed on Sunday. The Lexus service advisor will call me in the morning. I googled the topic about "Lexus sun roof exploding while driving" and found many Lexus car owners had the same problem as mine. Toyota Motors already knew about this issue since 2012 and they refused to fix the issue free of charge for Lexus car owners since they said that the car warranty doesn't covered the sun roof. I believe Toyota Motors is a irresponsible car company. If this issue is not fixed, I believe some Lexus owners might get hurt when their cars' sun roof explode while driving. Toyota Motors should fix the problem free of charge for their customers because this is a defective tempered glass sun roof.
