While driving down the road at approximately 60 mph the glass in the sun roof exploded upward and out away from the roof of the car. The sun roof was not being operated. It was only around 80 to 85 degrees. The force of the glass being blown out reminded me of motors exploding in iraq. Wife said it sounded like a shot gun being fired. I have pictures showing how the glass exploded outward. At first I thought someone threw a brick through a window.

04-06/my automatic opener on my moonroof was not working. I took it into Toyota and was told I was not operating the button correctly. 11-06/I opened my moonroof and heard a loud noise once it was fully opened. It then wouldn't close. The cable that pulls the moonroof snapped and destroyed the housing unit. This car is less than two years old but was 2000 miles over my warranty mileage. The part was $2100 and labor was $850. Toyota paid for the parts due to my request for 'out of warranty assistance', but still was the part defective? should I have had to pay for the labor too for a car that is less than two years old?.

Moonroof rattle. I did nothing wrong and it started to rattle.
The first time the owner drove the car he noticed the problem. The weight of the driver caused the driver's seat to shift. There was not a loose feeling but there a movement in the seat. The seat felt unstable and insecure. The owner was concerned that the seat could come off was the track. He owner first contacted the dealership, who tightened the bolts. However the problem recurred on the way home. The second time the dealership was contacted they said they would contact manufacturer. Toyota was contacted, and Toyota said they were about to fix the seat problem. The owner was not aware of when the problem will be repaired, and what the fix will be. They will replace the seat at a cost of $1,500. The owner called Toyota, and was assured that a fix was in the process. There was no time frame or indication of what the fix may be. The vehicle's sunroof started to close while the vehicle was being driven.
