AS MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE MOONROOF SHATTERED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR. TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS, NOW! *TR

AS TRAVELING DOWN THE FREEWAY ON WAY TO WORK, I HEARD A SOUND THAT WAS SIMILAR TO A GUNSHOT OR EXPLOSION OF SOME KIND. GLASS STARTED TO FLY IN MY FACE AND ALL OVER THE CAR BARELY MISSING MY EYE. IT CUT MY ARM AND HAND. THE INJURY WAS NOT SERIOUS, MY WIFE SAID IF SHE HAD BEEN DRIVING SHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE CRASHED WHEN IT HAPPENED. WHEN I GOT HOME I CALLED THE BOTH THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THE CAR AND TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS IN TORRANCE. THEY ASKED ME WHAT I WANTED AND I SAID I JUST WANT IT FIXED THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD GIVE ME A GOOD PRICE TO FIX IT, BUT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. JOHN GOT BACK TO ME A FEW DAYS LATER AND SAID THAT I COULD TAKE IT DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT FIXED, PAY FOR IT MYSELF AND THEN TOYOTA WOULD THINK ABOUT IT. THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE. I WORK HARD FOR MY MONEY AND TRUST THAT A CARS MOONROOF ISN'T GOING TO EXPLODE WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. FROM THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A RARE OCCURANCE. IF A PIECE OF GLASS HAD LANDED IN MY EYE, I WOULD HAVE SURELY GONE BLIND. *TR

THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PART AS I AM TOLD BY A DEALERSHIP, SCION'S CORPORATE OFFICE, AND ONLINE. THE RECALL ID IS 50S. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL THAT DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE, AND IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE IN REGARDS TO THE PART, I AM BEING TOLD THAT BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE PART. I PUT IN A COMPLAINT AND DO HAVE A CASE NUMBER FOR IT IF NEEDED FOR INVESTIGATION. *TR

I LATER CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY HAD A RECALL ON THE WIND DEFLECTOR FOR 06 SCION TC'S BUT IT DIDN'T APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. THEY WILL NOT PAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE EVEN CONTACTED CORPORATE. RESEARCHING THIS, THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH DOWN RT 55 IN NEW JERSEY. SUDDENLY I HEAR GLASS SHATTERING AND GLASS RAINS DOWN ON MY HEAD. THE MOON ROOF IN MY TOYOTA SCION TC EXPLODED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TOYOTA SAYS ITS NOT A DEFECT AND THEY WONT FIX IT. I HAVE TO PAY 2000 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED. I DON'T HAVE THIS MONEY AND GLASS SHOULD NOT EXPLODE FOR NO REASON. NOT TO MENTION I COULD HAVE CRASHED MY CAR AND SUSTAINED BODILY INJURY. *TR

DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, NO VEHICLES WITHIN SIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, AND NO ONE TO THE SIDE. MY SCION TC SUNROOF EXPLODED. IT WAS LOUDER THAN A SHOTGUN. I ALMOST SWERVED OFF THE ROAD IT SCARED ME THAT BAD. THIS WAS NOT THE WIND DEFLECTOR IT WAS THE SUNROOF ITSELF. I WAS DOING SOME INVESTIGATING AND I KNOW THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS JUST BY LOOKING ON A FORUM. I DON'T HAVE A REPAIR COST YET OR EVEN KNOW IF TOYOTA IS GOING TO COVER IT. *TR

TAKING A DRIVE ON A SUNNY DAY, I HAD MY SUNROOF OPEN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HUSBAND AND I HEARD A CRACKING SOUND. WHEN WE GOT HOME, WE NOTICED THE FRONT PART OR WIND DEFLECTOR PART OF SUNROOF WAS CRACKED. TOOK IT TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A PEBBLE BECAUSE THE GLASS SHOWED A POINT OF IMPACT.EARD ANYTHING HIT THE WINDOW, IT JUST BROKE. WHY IS SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A WIND DEFLECTOR MADE OF GLASS?I NEVER EVEN NOTICED THIS PIECE OF GLASS THAT POPS UP AND NOW I FEEL VULNERABLE FOR DRIVING IN THE FUTURE,. NOT TO MENTION THE ALMOST $500.00 THAT IT WILL COST ME TO FIX THIS FRIDAY. THIS SHOULD BE A WARRANTED ITEM OR IT SHOULD BE MADE OF A PLASTIC MATERIAL. I SAW MANY COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE. I BELIEVE IT SHATTERED FROM THE WIND JUST LIKE THE MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I READ. I LOVED MY SCION TC AND NOW I AM DISENCHANTMENT WITH THIS CAR. *TR

I WENT TO ROLL UP MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND IT CAME OFF TRACK. WHEN SAFELITE CAME OUT TO REPAIR IT THE GUY SAID THE TRACK WAS COMPLETELY TWISTED AND ANOTHER PART WAS BENT. HE SAID MOST LIKELY IT WAS A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM. I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO A BODY SHOP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THE GUY THERE SAID HE'S NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND WAS GOING CALL TOYOTA AND SCION TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY SILENT RECALLS. A NEW DOOR WOULD COST ABOUT 745 AND I REFUSE TO PAY FOR IT AND WANT IT FIXED FOR FREE. *TR
