• Glass moonroof shatters investigation # PE06024

  Odis investigation discloses that the subject vehicles sustain moonroof shattering and/or damage at rates comparable to those for most other similarly equipped vehicles.This review also discloses that such incidents occur in most vehicles with moonroofs and that while tempered glass panels commonly used in moonroof fabrication are shatter-resistant, some catastrophic failures do in fact occur.Impact with small stones or road debris may result in immediate or delayed shatter incidents, depending on the extent and nature of damage sustained by the glass moonroof panel.The manufacturer concludes that incidents of moonroof shatter are random occurrences that result primarily from impact with small stones or other objects while the vehicle is in motion. A safety-related defect trend has not been identified and this pe has been closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety defect does not exist.The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.

Glass roof shattered unprovoked

I purchased a red 2005 scion tc for my daughter in february, 2019 from toyota auto nation in davie, fl. They had it priced in good condition, so i expected to get some use out of it. I paid almost $6,000. Month later it overheated on the highway (595) and my daughter had to pull over late at night on the highway and i had to have it towed to my home. Very scary and unsafe situation for a teen. Had it towed back to their service station and it turned out to be a problem, that cost me $600. I find it hard to believe that this company would not have seen any damage under the hood. Shame on them for selling me a car that broke down in one month. I have called them and they will not help with the payment. It is 'as is' i called and text the sales girl and never received a call back or response. Finally put a bad review on their website and received an e-mail to contact manager to help with the situation, only to find out that was an automated email and again told 'too bad'. It is now july and yet again it broke down on my daughter as she was at the gas station. It would not start up after she turned it off. Tried to jump it and nothing. Once again headed to go to the dealership service station. At first was told it was only the battery, so i say go ahead, i will pay the $140 and replace it and we will go from there. Only to get another callback from the manager stating that there is more wrong with the car, that after the $89 five point check on the vehicle and replacing the battery that it still did not start. They would have to keep it over the weekend. It is costing me an arm and a leg and i need help with this. I feel like they lied about this vehicle and allowed a car that is not safe to be bought at their business. I am concerned for my child's safety and only want what is fair.

Takata recall?? Airbags failed, during accident. After being cutoff and going down route x. Lost control hiding concrete. Car flipped, was dragged a few feet's - no airbags. Passenger still has anxiety when getting into vehicles-the one thing you'd think would respond didn't. How do we ever get the sense of security back. *dt *tr

The frame and every metal component on the underneath of the car including the frame rusts terribly. The rest is completely corroding away and breaking off. Even th metal strap holding my gas tank on is completely rusted and if i put n pressure it chips away. I didn't notice this until i went to have my exhaust done and was able to look under the car.
