2005 Scion Tc

I PULLED INTO MY DRIVE WAY PARKED THE CAR LEFT IT RUNNING SUNROOF WAS OPEN FRONT WINDOWS WERE DOWN. RAN INSIDE TO GRAB SOMETHING HEAR A GLASS EXPLOSION RAN BACK OUT TO FIND MY SUNROOF SPIDER CRACKED OUT AND THE EDGES GONE. LADY THAT WAS WALKING HER DOG SAID THE SUNROOF JUST EXPLODED. THERES NO HOLES NOTHING JUST CRACKS AND GLASS ALL AROUND THE CAR AND INSIDE THE CAR. I HAVE PICTURES TO. *NM EMAIL REPLY ON MAY 18, 2006 SHOWS (PICTURES) THAT IT WAS THE SUN/MOON ROOF (NOT THE WIND DEFLECTOR) THAT WAS SHATTERED.

EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR THE SUNROOF RATTLES AND IT SOUNDS AS IF THERE IS SHATTERED GLASS IN THERE. I LOOKED AND TRIED TO CLEAN IT ALL OUT BUT I NEVER FOUND ANY BROKEN GLASS. BUT WHEN EVER I GO OVER THE SMALLEST BUMP IT SOUNDS LIKE THE WHOLE SUNROOF IS GOING TO SHATTER. I HAVE READ OTHER REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING AND I THINK THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH THE GLASS. *NM

DT: CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SCION TC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE VEHICLE WAS BEING WARMED UP ON JANUARY 23, 2005 THE WIND DEFLECTOR FOR THE SUN ROOF BROKE. AS HE WAS GETTING SOMETHING FROM THE VEHICLE AND SHUT THE DOOR THE DEFLECTOR BROKE. THE CONTACT STATED UNTIL HE SAW THE INVESTIGATION ARTICLE HE THOUGHT THE BREAKAGE WAS DUE TO THE TEMPERATURE OR SOME OTHER TYPE OF NORMAL CONDITION. THE LOCAL SERVICE DEALER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A LOCAL GLASS SHOP TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REPAIRED. THERE IS AN OPEN INVESTIGATION OF THIS PROBLEM, , THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION EA05013. THE CONSUMER HAD THE WIND DEFLECTOR REPAIRED. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER.*AK

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY 2005 SCION TC SINCE PURCHASE ON 7/16/2004. THE DAY AFTER PURCHASE THE FRONT TIRE WAS SITTING ON THE RIM. TERRIBLE PROBLEMS WITH SCRATCHES IT SEEMS AS THOUGH YOU LOOK AT IT AND IT SCRATCHES AND THE PAINT IS PEELING AND BUBBLING ALL OVER, THE POWER LOCK BUTTON FELL INSIDE THE DOOR WITHIN THE 1ST WEEK I HAD THE CAR. HAVE BEEN TO DEALERSHIP 3 DIFFERENT TIMES CONCERNING THE SUNROOF MAKING TERRIBLE RATTLING NOISES AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE WHOLE TOP OF THE CAR IS MOVING WHEN YOU MAKE A TURN, THEN AFTER IT RAINS, I LIVE IN FL AND NO VISIBLE WATER IS ON THE TOP, OPEN THE WINDOW AND WATER ON THE LIP OF THE SUNROOF LEAKS WATER ALL OVER YOU. THEY HAVE TOOK THE CAR APART FOR SUN ROOF AND CAN'T FIX, TORE OUT THE HEADLINER. ALSO THE INSIDE METALLIC PARTS SCRATCH EASILY, THE DEALERSHIP TECH DESTROYED THE PART AROUND THE GEAR SHIFT. MY CAR INSURANCE HAS DOUBLED SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE OF ACCIDENTS I HAVE LESS THAN 9,000 MILES ON THIS CAR, HAVE MET WITH GM, AND EVERYONE THINKS YOUR CRAZY. THIS IS THE WORST CAR I HAVE EVER PURCHASED AND IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A NIGHTMARE, THE PEOPLE AT THE DEALERSHIP SAY OH YOUR THE ONLY ONE WITH THE PAINT PROBLEM , IT'S WEAR AND TEAR, YET WE HAVE ANOTHER NEW VEHICLE THAT GETS DRIVEN TO WORK EVERY DAY AND THE PAINT LOOKS BETTER THAN MY CAR. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA AND I TRADED IN A TOYOTA TO GET THIS CAR, I GUARANTEE YOU I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SCION, I HAVE WONDERED WHY THEY ARE NOT ADVERTISED ON TV, NOW I KNOW WHY. I SPEND MY TIME GOING TO THE DOCTORS AND THE DEALERSHIP BEING TREATED LIKE AN IDIOT. THEY KEPT MY CAR 5 DAYS LAST TIME AND WANT IT AGAIN. IF YOUR CAR LEAKS LIKE MINE PLEASE REPORT IT AS THEY HAVE HAD AN OUTSIDE RAIN DOCTOR CHECK IT OUT AN IT SAYS IT'S DESIGNED THAT WAY, YAT IT DID NOT DO THIS IN THE BEGINNING. I HATE TO TRADE IT IN AND PASS THIS NIGHTMARE ON TO SOMEONE ELSE. I HAVE COME ACROSS TONS OF COMPLAINTS AND MANY SERVICE ADVISORIES.*JB

I HAVE A 2005 SCION TC, LAST MONDAY I ARRIVED HOME AND AFTER FIVE MINUTES WHILE I WAS BY THE CAR I HEARD A CRACK AND WHEN I LOOK AT THE CAR I SAW THAT THE BACK MOONROOF CRACKED WITHOUT ANY REASON.THE WAY IT CRACKED IT IS VERY WEIRD BECAUSE IT CRACKED ALL THE WAY AROUND AND AFTER THAT OVER THE NIGHT IT START COURVING UPWARD AND IT START FELING IN TO PIECES.

DT: 2005, TOYOTA, SCION TC, VEHICLE'S SUN ROOF (NOT THE WIND DEFLECTOR) EXPLODED. THERE WAS NO APPARENT CAUSE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. GLASS SHATTERED ALL OVER CONSUMER AND THE FREEWAY. CONSUMER STATED THAT NOTHING HIT THE SUNROOF FOR IT TO SHATTER, BUT IF EVEN A SMALL ITEM COULD CAUSE THAT EXPLOSIVE TYPE OF DAMAGE, IT SHOULD BE DIFFERENT GLASS. SUNROOF IS REPAIRED BUT CAR PAINT IS SCRATCHED EVERYWHERE AND CONSUMER STILL FIND BITS OF GLASS IN VEHICLE. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME. PHONE INTERVIEW (MAY 19, 2006): DEALER REPRESENTATIVE CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS THE SUN/MOON ROOF THAT SHATTERED.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 SCION TC I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE BACK MOON ROOF HAD CRACKED. IT WAS THE SAME TYPE OF NOISE I HEARD WHEN MY FRONT DEFLECTOR SHATTERED. THE MOON ROOF DID NOT CAVE IN WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED IT WAS JUST SPIDER WEB CRACKED THROUGHOUT. BUT ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP PART OF THE MIDDLE ENDED UP CAVING IN. THE DEALERSHIP SAID BECAUSE THE GLASS WAS ANGLED UP IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING FROM INSIDE OR PRESSURE CAUSED IT. IF SOMETHING HAD FALLEN ON IT THE GLASS WOULD HAVE BEEN ANGLED DOWNWARDS. IT WAS REPLACED BUT ONLY AFTER MUCH QUESTIONING BECAUSE THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IT HAD HAPPENED AND SUPPOSEDLY "I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE HAD THESE PROBLEMS". I AM CURRENTLY WAITING ON PARTS TO COME IN THAT THEY BROKE WHILE REPAIRING THE MOON ROOF.
