“Driving on I-10 in the metarie, la area at speed limit, we heard a loud bang, then wind coming into the car. No other vehicles around us, we pulled to the side of the road and noticed that the sunroof had exploded. Sounded like a bomb went off when it happened. We returned to our hotel and taped the glass to prevent further glass fracture and spray to other vehicles on the road.”
NHTSA complaint #11105271, filed 2018-07, 26,000 miles“When turning on the air conditioner in summer after the car has been sitting for a few hours or overnight; there is a musty, urine type smell. I did what Toyota service recommended by not recirculating the air; which we rarely do unless dusty. The system default is for recirculating air and we switch it over right away to fresh air when we start the vehicle. We changed the cabin filter to a Toyota charcoal filter which was recommended by Toyota which helped for only a few days we are concerned this maybe linked to a mold problem etc.”
