2015 Toyota Camry

WHEN FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NOTICED A SOUND COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR AREA WHEN TURNING INTO A DRIVEWAY OR DRIVING ON A BUMPY ROAD OR SPEED BUMP AND THOUGHT IT WOULD GO AWAY. BUT RECENTLY NOTICED THAT THE SOUND HAS BECOME LOUDER SO BROUGHT IT INTO TOSERVCO TOYOTA HONOLULU ON12/5/18. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE SOUND WAS FROM THE MOONROOF. IT HAPPENS WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT A CERTAIN ANGLE AND GO OVER A BUMP OR ROUGH ROAD. APPARENTLY FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THE ROOF IS NOT PROPERLY REINFORCED IN THE FRAME. SO IT'S BASICALLY ' SHIFTING' AND THUS THE SOUND IS HEARD. REPAIRING IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE BECAUSE THE FACTORY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. IT ALSO INVOLVES REMOVING THE HEADLINER AND DOORS. AFTER DOING ALL OF THIS I'M WORRIED THAT MY CAR WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. WHAT IF SOMETHING ELSE GOES WRONG? I DON'T THINK IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IF OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM SHOULDN'T IT BE CONSIDERED A MANUCTURER'S DEFECT AND SHOULDN'T BE IGNORED?

MY SON HAD DIFFICULTY BRAKING WHEN A CAR IN FRONT OF HIM STEPPED ON HIS BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF HIM. CONSEQUENTLY, MY SON HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM CAUSING BUMPER DAMAGE TO THAT CAR, A TOYOTA. MY SON'S CAR WAS TOTALED DUE TO THE IMPACT. ALSO, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. HE WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 85 AT LESS THAN THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT.

THE CHROME FINISH ON THE FRONT DASH SIDE AIR VENTS ARE REFLECTED IN THE OUTSIDE SIDE MIRRORS, CAUSING AN UNUSUAL AND SURPRISING DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR WAS JUST BOUGHT, AND OTHERWISE SATISFACTORY. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS REMEDIED BY TOYOTA, AS THE CHROME COULD BE PAINTED BLACK, AND THEREBY ELIMINATING THE REFLECTIONS IN THE SIDE MIRRORS.
