2022 Toyota RAV4

The panoramic moonroof on my 2022 Toyota RAV4 spontaneously shattered and exploded outward at approximately 2:09 PM on June 21, 2026 while my wife was driving and exiting the freeway. There was a loud bang, followed by glass shards ejecting primarily outward onto the roof with a pattern showing the glass failed/bent from the inside out. The outer glass panel broke into multiple large sections with a clean perimeter failure and no visible external impact point or road debris damage. This created an immediate safety hazard: loud distraction while driving at highway speeds, flying glass, and sudden exposure through the roof opening. No warning lights, messages, noises, or prior symptoms appeared. The moonroof had been used normally with no issues. The component (panoramic moonroof glass assembly) is available for inspection. I have a dealer appointment scheduled for tomorrow, June 22, 2026 at 9:45 AM for inspection. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the dealer, manufacturer, insurance, or police. This matches numerous similar reports of spontaneous panoramic sunroof failures on RAV4 models.

Hello, I am concerned about the windshield on our new RAV4. It was chipped and the glass cracked from the passenger side to the drivers side of the car. Currently we are waiting for the car insurance to cover the cost of repair for the windshield. For safety reasons you cannot clearly see out of the windshield because of the crack. The problem cannot be reproduced currently. the problem was inspected by the insurance company representative (SAFELITE) and we are still waiting on the new windshield because apparently there is a hug backlog there was no warning when the windshield cracked. But seemingly cracked when there was no warning, my wife was driving the car when something hit the corner of the windshield (some rock or road debris)

I purchased a brand new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XLE on June 30, 2022 and on my first drive, 6.4 miles from the dealership to my home, the the windshield developed a crack on the driver's side. It is available for inspection. Both Toyota and Safelite say they are having supply issues with the windshield and of Sep 1, 2022 neither Toyota or Safelite have replacement windshields for the RAV4. The crack affects vision for both the driver and those outside the vehicle. The problem has been confirmed by the local dealer, Toyota of Cedar Park, TX and by Safelite of Austin Texas. The windshield has NOT been inspected by the manufacturer, police, Amica insurance, or any others There were no warning lamps, messages or symptoms of the problem prior to failure or after the failure.
