THE WINDSHIELD IS SEVERELY DISTORTED. DURING THE DAYTIME, WHILE MOVING, OR SEEING MOVING OBJECTS, IT IS UNUSUALLY HARD TO JUDGE SPEED AND DISTANCE DUE TO THE DISTORTIONS. AT NIGHTTIME, THE DISTORTIONS BEND, TWIST LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS MAKING DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS. MULTIPLE VISITS TO THE DEALER AND A VISIT FROM A TOYOTA FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE WINDSHIELD HAVE BEEN MET WITH REFUSAL TO MAKE REPAIRS. THE FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE DOES ACKNOWLEDGE WINDSHIELD DEFECTS BUT SAYS "THEY ARE COMPARABLE TO LIKE VEHICLES." HE REFUSED TO EXAMINE OTHER NEW "LIKE" MODELS WITH ME BECAUSE HIS ASSERTION IS ERRONEOUS.

MY CAMRY HAS 6K MILES ON IT. ON FRIDAY, 6 DEC 2019 AT 1600, I PICKED UP MY CAMRY FROM YUBA CITY TOYOTA AFTER HAVING ITS FIRST VEHICLE SERVICE. WHILE DRIVING ON HWY 20 TOWARDS GRASS VALLEY, CA LESS THAN 20 MIN AFTER PICKING IT UP, I HEARD AN EXTREMELY LOUD EXPLOSION OVER MY HEAD. IT TRULY SOUNDED LIKE A GUN WENT OFF IN MY CAR. I DUCKED, LOOKED AROUND AND REALIZED IT WAS PROBABLY THE SUNROOF BECAUSE I COULD HEAR AIR BLOWING. I WAS ON A FOUR LANE SECTION OF HWY WITH ABSOLUTELY NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND A CAR A FEW HUNDRED YARDS BEHIND ME. THERE WERE NO TREES OVERHEAD AND IT WAS A CLEAR EVENING OUTSIDE WITH NO RAIN. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 55 DEGREES OUTSIDE ALSO. THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY ANY OBJECTS. FORTUNATELY, I HAD THE INSIDE PANEL CLOSED AND DID NOT HAVE ANY GLASS FLY INTO MY FACE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I FILED A CLAIM WITH TOYOTA AND THEY ARE WORKING THE ISSUE NOW, BUT IT SOUNDS AS IF THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO IT CREATING A FUTURE PROBLEM WITH CLAIMS. I WAS DRIVING 60MPH ALSO.
