The windshield washer (won't spray) does not work. I thought I saw a previous recall for windshield wiper/washer on this vehicle"?" it has never been repaired/replaced. Also, the high beams (exterior bright lights won't work) I only have low beams. Thanks for your help.
I was driving down the highway when I heard this huge pop that sounded like a gunshot, honestly. I quickly glanced around but didn't notice anything. I get to my destination and walked around my car. No glass was cracked, all my lights were fine, and there were no dents or holes on my car. Thinking it may have just been debris that hit my car and made a weird noise I got in my car and started driving home. I get on the highway, start going about seventy mph, and out of nowhere I hear this crunch and scrape noise followed by a bunch of air coming from my ceiling. Confused, I get off the highway and I pulled over into the parking lot of a walmart and that is when I saw my sunroof had exploded for no reason! I was not passing over a bridge when I heard the initial pop nor was there was not any construction going on near where I was when I heard the initial pop. Luckily, I had the sunroof closed so I was able to get as much glass out as I could. There was no rock or brick or any other debris inside the sunroof compartment. Also, I noticed that the glass is facing upwards and not downwards.
My wife drove my 2013 Toyota Camry SE down to the Twin Cities for a bridal shower on Saturday afternoon, April 28, 2018. She had just gotten on to I-494, driving at highway speed, when she heard what sounded like a gun shot. The visor was open, and the sun roof was closed, and shards of tempered glass rained in on her. She wasn't near an overpass, or near any trucks. Nor was she hit by any flying rock. She pulled in to a gas station, where a nice gentleman helped her, by scooping out broken glass, and putting a piece of cardboard into the opening. As soon as she texted me about it, I googled "exploding sun roof, " and found that this is a problem that seems to occur with a lot more frequency, especially in the past five years. I'm just thankful that she wasn't injured in any way, and that she didn't lose control of the vehicle. She says it was a very scary experience. Since this happened on a Saturday, I'm not sure if this is an insurance matter, or if the dealership will cover this under warranty.
