Sunroof leaking into front driver & passenger pillars with airbags. Dealership quotes $6k to fix, but they didn-??t know where / how it-??s leaking!! There are no drain lines in this model, so it-??s just a leak into the air bags plain and simple. This is a manufacturer issue- if no drain lines / weep holes, then why do you have to replace a $6k sunroof to fix an $50 seal / gasket? Very Unsat. Others are having the same issue. Saw 13 others with similar or same issue on NHTSA website-??Toyota dealer was charging me $1,000 to look at it and tell me, yeah, there is a leak! Thats why I brought it to you! This is the panoramic sunroof model. Very unsafe!
On 10/24/22, I was stopped in traffic at the lower end of a hill. This was in Arlington, TX on Lamar St. near Collins traveling east. Although I was using my brakes as we were at a red light, the car started accelerating forward. It would not stop with further brake usage or trying to put the car into park position. I hit the car in front of me gently. Not seeing any damage, and because the other driver did not feel the impact, I did not report the incident to the insurance company. I do not know if it was a brake problem or other problem. I recently purchased the car after my Toyota Camry was totaled at the end of July 2022. However, that car had a similar problem in another accident that was reported to my Allstate agent.
Driving down the highway and coming to a stop sign there was a sudden explosion...it sounded like a tire exploded but louder. I stopped at the stop sign and got out of my car and walked around the vehicle for a busted tire, but then I saw that my sunroof was continuing to crack...the sunroof had exploded. I walked to the vehicle that had stopped behind me and asked them if they had seen anything hit my car and they said no. My sunroof continued to shatter as I drove home. Frightening situation! Toyota needs to recall their sunroofs because I've seen several on this site as having experienced this same problem.
The radio navigation system just turns off and resets for no apparent reason it does it St anytime anywhere any speed. It will just stop and restart and if your using navigation you loose your destination, so you have the instinct to try and re input your travel location which causes you to not watch the road. It happens almost every time I drive the car.
Forward sliding sunroof exploded and started disintegrating while traveling on interstate 93. Nothing came off the highway or from any other vehicle to cause this. The vehicle was in motion approx 70 mph driving straight. Weather was clear, sunny and cold, about 29 degrees.
