2006 SCION TC Unknown Or Other Problems

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THE MOON-ROOF/SUN-ROOF SHATTERED SPONTANEOUSLY. THE DAMAGE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE CAUSED BY ANY OBJECT STRIKING THE GLASS. I HAVE DASHCAM FOOTAGE OF THE INCIDENT, IN WHICH TWO DISTINCT POPS CAN BE HEARD WHEN THE GLASS SHATTERS. ADDITIONALLY, THE EXTENSION MECHANISM (TWO SUPPORTS ON THE SIDES OF THE GLASS) WERE FULLY EXTENDED. IT IS MY ASSUMPTION THAT ONE OF THE SUPPORTS FAILED AND FULLY EXTENDED, FORCING THE GLASS TO BEND AND ULTIMATELY PUT ENOUGH STRESS ON THE GLASS TO FAIL, AT WHICH POINT THE OTHER SUPPORT FULLY EXTENDED. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PICTURES. IT APPEARS VIDEOS ARE NOT ABLE TO BE UPLOADED, BUT PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE THIS INFORMATION.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY GOING 55-60MPH WHEN MY MOONROOF EXPLODED! IT LITERALLY SOUNDED LIKE A BOMB OR GUNSHOT OVERHEAD. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL AND THIS IS NOT A MANUFACTURER ISSUE... I'D HAVE TO DISAGREE AS I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE.

AT HIGHWAY SPEED, DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE FAILED. CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BECOME UNSTABLE AND DANGEROUS. SUMITOMO IS THE MANUFACTURER, AND THE TIRES THEMSELVES STILL HAD APPRX. 12,000 MILES LEFT ON THE LIFE OF THE WARRANTY. GOING TO HAVE ALL OTHERS CHECKED, AND REPLACING THE AFFECTED TIRE.

FAILURE TO HIT UNLOCK MULTIPLE TIMES ON KEYLESS REMOTE WHEN ACCESSING REAR HATCHBACK TRUNK WILL PUT UNDUE STRESS ON THE POORLY DESIGNED ENTRY POINT. EVEN WITH USING THE UNLOCK FEATURE WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER DOORS ARE UNLOCKED THE TRUNK LID REMAINS LOCKED. SINCE THIS IS SUCH A POOR DESIGN IT HAS BROKEN AND THE ONLY WAY TO REPLACE IS 800 REPAIR BILL FOR NEW PART AND HAVE IT PAINTED. I HAVE TO POINT OUT THAT THE HATCHBACK IS OPENED AND ACCESED BY AN ELECTRIC PRESSURE POINT WITH KEYLESS ENTRY ONLY, SINCE THIS IS A PLASTIC PART AND IS VERY WEAK, IT ONLY TAKES A FEW VISITS TO THE CAR WASH OR DEALER TO HAVE SOMEONE ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE HATCHBACK WITH THE CAR UNLOCKED TO WRENCH ON THIS PART AND CAUSE IT TO FAIL. MOST MODERN VEHICLES HAVE A TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON, OR KEYED ENTRY WHICH WOULD PREVENT THIS OBVIOUS AND COMMON FAILURE, ITS COMMON BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL SCION TC'S WITH THIS PART HANGIN FROM THE HATCHBACK AND BLOCKING VIEW OF THE VEHICLES LICENSE PLATE, WHICH IN MOST STATES IS AN OFFENSE AND A SAFETY VIOLATION.

PURCHASED NEW 2006 SCION TC IN OCTOBER OF 05. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE NOTICED CHIPS, SCRATCHES AND PAINT GENERALLY COMING OFF THE CAR ALL OVER THE PLACE. I DRIVE ON PAVED STREETS AND IN A MODERATE CLIMATE AREA (SEATTLE). I FEEL CHEATED THAT A CAR LESS THAN ONE YEAR OLD IS HAVING PAINT FAILURE ISSUES. *JB
