Sunroof exploded while on the interstate

- Covington, LA, USA

While driving on highway 280 southbound at roughly 65 mph in Friday evening traffic, the moonroof on my 2017 Camry exploded spontaneously. It was so loud, I thought I had been shot at. Luckily, the cover was closed or glass would have been everywhere in the car's interior. The glass had exploded outward as there was no damage to the sliding cover at all. I called my insurance company but was unable to get into a shop as it was after 5 pm. The moonroof rails had to be replaced when I initially bought the car last year and so I thought the dealer would have the repair under warrantee. I took it to the dealer on Saturday morning and they admitted that they had seen this problem before and that the repair was not under warrantee. Dennis mcconnell stated that the car was under so much external and internal pressure when sealed up at highway speeds that this failure sometimes happens especially as moonroof and sunroofs being a standard feature on cars today. I ended up paying $1072 for a repair I feel must be a structural issue that should be under recall by Toyota. The car has less than 25K miles. I should not be responsible for the cost of this repair. I am now afraid that this will happen again and drive with the moonroof open on the freeway.

I was driving down the interstate on a rainy, cool day when I heard a loud explosion. Thinking it was a gunshot, I liked around the vehicle to make sure passenger was ok. I heard a windy sound and opened the sunroof cover panel to see that my entire sunroof is cracked to pieces. I rushed home and once exiting the car, I notice the glass on the sunroof looks to have exploded outwards. It is completely destroyed with no signs of impact or damage caused by driving. It was completely exploded from the inside out.

The body of the side rear view mirrors is blocking a significant area of the driver's view to the right and to the left. The mirrors of average size are part of a body that is excessively large, adding several inches around the area of the mirror. The whole body is installed on a long arm, and blocks the view of the driver towards the right and the left while he/she drives. When turning right or left, I may hit something that I could not see because the mirror blocked it. Pictures attached.

Cpsc:the hood of the Toyota Camry le year 2017 model is raised too high in relation to the dash. It should not be sold to people whose height is 5 feet 3 inches or less. The consumer stated that driving the vehicle with limited view of the car sides over the hood causes anxiety about being hit by another vehicle. Updated 06/13/2017
