AS TRAVELING DOWN THE FREEWAY ON WAY TO WORK, I HEARD A SOUND THAT WAS SIMILAR TO A GUNSHOT OR EXPLOSION OF SOME KIND. GLASS STARTED TO FLY IN MY FACE AND ALL OVER THE CAR BARELY MISSING MY EYE. IT CUT MY ARM AND HAND. THE INJURY WAS NOT SERIOUS, MY WIFE SAID IF SHE HAD BEEN DRIVING SHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE CRASHED WHEN IT HAPPENED. WHEN I GOT HOME I CALLED THE BOTH THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THE CAR AND TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS IN TORRANCE. THEY ASKED ME WHAT I WANTED AND I SAID I JUST WANT IT FIXED THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD GIVE ME A GOOD PRICE TO FIX IT, BUT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. JOHN GOT BACK TO ME A FEW DAYS LATER AND SAID THAT I COULD TAKE IT DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT FIXED, PAY FOR IT MYSELF AND THEN TOYOTA WOULD THINK ABOUT IT. THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE. I WORK HARD FOR MY MONEY AND TRUST THAT A CARS MOONROOF ISN'T GOING TO EXPLODE WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. FROM THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A RARE OCCURANCE. IF A PIECE OF GLASS HAD LANDED IN MY EYE, I WOULD HAVE SURELY GONE BLIND. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY SUNROOF OPEN. I HEARD A LOUD POP FOLLOWED BY A PIECE OF THE GLASS DEFLECTOR SHIELD FELL INTO MY VEHICLE, HITTING ME ON THE HEAD. I STOPPED AND LOOKED AT MY SUNROOF AND SAW A SPIDERWEB LIKE CRACK ON THE WIND DEFLECTOR WITH NO POINT OF IMPACT. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PART AS I AM TOLD BY A DEALERSHIP, SCION'S CORPORATE OFFICE, AND ONLINE. THE RECALL ID IS 50S. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL THAT DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE, AND IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE IN REGARDS TO THE PART, I AM BEING TOLD THAT BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE PART. I PUT IN A COMPLAINT AND DO HAVE A CASE NUMBER FOR IT IF NEEDED FOR INVESTIGATION. *TR
