“While entering the interstate I was approaching about 60 MPH when all of a sudden I hear a very loud pop! I was startled thinking someone had shot a gun! It caused me to slow down and to almost be rear ended. I looked up to find my sunroof had exploded for no apparent reason.”

NHTSA complaint #10372399, filed 2010-12, 17,350 miles

“I was driving my vehicle to work with the sunroof closed and the sun visor open when suddenly I heard a loud bang, like a gunshot, and my sunroof shattered. It scared me and nearly caused me to run off the road; thankfully there were no other cars anywhere near me. I am certain it wasn't hit by a rock or something as there were no cars in front of me and also I wasn't near any overpasses. Upon research, this issue seems to be common with Toyota, so I contacted Toyota motor corporation through their customer service line. …”

“Toyota Venza. The rear hatch is auto open/close. Using the auto closing button on the dash of the vehicle, I initiated the close sequence. The rear hatch started to close normally, then it slammed shut with enough force to cause serious injury to anyone under the hatch. Subsequent attempts at opening or closing the hatch resulted in a stutter effect which required me to close the hatch manually. I took the car to the dealer. They told me that I should not slam the hatch shut. I have never slammed the hatch, I always use the button on the dash or the key fob to open/ close the hatch. …”
