NHTSA complaint #11387750, filed 2021-01, 155,000 miles“My wife drove my 2013 Toyota Camry se down to the twin cities for a bridal shower on saturday afternoon, april 28, 2018.

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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11090846, filed 2018-04, 31,700 miles“I was driving down the highway when I heard this huge pop that sounded like a gunshot, honestly.

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. …”
