THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO INSIST THAT SOMETHING HIT THE SUNROOF. THE EXPLOSION OF THE SUNROOF CAME OUT OF NOWHERE WITHOUT WARNING. MY 2-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN THE BACK MIDDLE SEAT AND COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED WITH GLASS SHARDS, HAD THE VISOR BEEN OPEN. *TR

A RATTLE OR POPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE MOONROOF ABOVE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. ON 2/7/13 A REPAIR WAS MADE AND WAS TOLD THAT WELDING DEBRIS WAS FOUND ON A CONTACT POINT IN THE MOONROOF. REPAIR STATED THAT THE MOONROOF MOUNTINGS WERE CLEANED AND THE MOONROOF WAS RE-TORQUED. AFTER THE REPAIR WE HEARD A CREAKING SOUND ON OCCASION WHEN MAKING TURNS AND ON ROUGH ROADS BUT DIDN'T FEEL IT WAS BAD ENOUGH TO TAKE BACK FOR REPAIR. NOW A YEAR LATER ON 3/3/14, THE NOISE HAS RETURNED AND TOOK IT IN AGAIN FOR REPAIR. WAS TOLD THAT PLASTIC SHIMS HAD TO BE ORDERED AND THAT THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THEY COME IN. I'LL TAKE MY CAR IN AGAIN WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVE AND LET THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT RE-ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE REPAIR AGAIN. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ALL 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY'S. IF YOU GOOGLE MOONROOF POPPING OR RATTLING ON 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY'S, YOU'LL FIND THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA IS HAVING WITH THEIR MOONROOF. HOPEFULLY, THE NEXT REPAIR RESOLVES THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ON 02-18-2014, I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 55 AND THE SUNROOF/MOONROOF ON MY 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT APPARENT REASON, IMPLODED. BECAUSE I HAD THE SUNROOF SHADE OPEN, GLASS FLEW INTO THE CABIN OF THE CAR. FORTUNATELY, ALTHOUGH I COULD FEEL GLASS STICKING IN MY FOREARM AND PALM, I WAS NOT CUT AND THERE WERE NO OTHER PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. ALSO, TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND I DID NOT CRASH AS A RESULT OF IT. WHEN THE GLASS BROKE, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION. THE SITUATION COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I HAVE SEARCHED IN AND AROUND MY CAR BUT HAVE NOT FOUND ANY OBJECT THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS DUE TO A DEFECT IN EITHER THE SUNROOF OR THE GLASS. LAST APRIL, TOYOTA HAD TO ADJUST MY SUNROOF BECAUSE IT WAS RATTLING. THE REPAIR INCLUDED ADDING SOME SHIMS TO IT. I WAS TOLD THAT BY THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE SUNROOF RATTLE WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL CAR. I BELIEVE THAT THE SUNROOF WAS DEFECTIVE. *TR

Official recalls
2Oct 17, 2013
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Avalon, Avalon HV, Venza, Camry, and Camry HV vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the drain hose for the air conditioning condenser may become clogged causing water to accumulate at the bottom of the air conditioning condenser unit housing. The accumulated water may then leak through a seam in the housing onto the air bag control module potentially resulting in a short circuit of the module.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A short circuit may cause the air bags to become disabled or inadvertently deploy. An inadvertent airbag deployment can increase the risk of injury or the possibility of a crash. An inoperative airbag can increase the risk of injury in a severe crash. The power steering assist could also become inoperable resulting in increased steering effort and can increase the risk of a crash at low speeds.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will seal the air conditioning condenser unit housing and install a protective cover on the airbag control module, free of charge. The recall began on February 5, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain models interspersed through model years 2009 through 2013 as follows: model year 2009-2012 Tacoma, 4Runner, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Prius, and RAV4; model year 2009-2010 Avalon, FJ Cruiser, and Highlander Hybrid; model year 2010-2013 model year Corolla, Sienna and Tundra; model year 2009-2013 Highlander and Venza; model year 2012 Prius V; and model year 2010-2012 Sequoia. During modification by SET to include accessories such as leather seat covers, seat heaters or headrest DVD systems, these vehicles may not have had the passenger seat occupant sensing system calibration tested. Without passing the calibration test, the occupant sensing system may not operate as designed.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the front passenger seat occupant sensing system is out of calibration, the front passenger airbags may not deploy or they may deploy inappropriately for the passenger's size and position. This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment.
Remedy: Southeast Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors, and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.
