1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 10/10/2017

I was driving down the highway a small rock hit my windshield bounced off and hit my sunroof! windshield is fine and sunroofs are made tough so I didn't think anything of it till about 15 miles later when I heard air! my windows were up I checked to see if maybe my daughter hit the button when we stopped to get gas right before then! when I opened the shade to the sunroof glass fell in my face! a whole the size of golf ball was there and the whole glass was spider webbed! I was about 1hr away from home so I pulled over and bought tape to put on it! I've owned many cars with sunroofs and have never seen one shatter like this one did for such a tiny rock! I was told a few companies recalled sunroofs and I sure hope y'all also do! if that shade would have been open me and my 6 year old could have been injured. I don't have pictures of the actual glass on hand because I had to quick fix it to get home!.

2 Wiper problem

My dashboard is extremely sticky and is reflecting the sun through the windshield. I live in miami so the sun is always reflecting off the dashboard. My car is dangerous because I don't have a clear view of the road. I spoke to a manager at the Toyota dealership who called about what could be done. The cost is 900. 00 for a new dashboard. I am a teacher and single mother who cannot afford to replace this myself. I plan to keep my car for a long time so I need options besides paying out of pocket. If there is a class action suit. . I would like to be placed on the list.

3 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 10/11/2012

During rain the wipers suddenly stop working. The happens only occasionally. They can work for hours and suddenly stop. Happens at any setting (intermittent, slow or fast). Then at a later time usually some minutes later they will start working again. Checked all connections and motor. Electrical tests of the system show no problems. Replaced entire switch assembly on the steering column with Toyota part, in Dec 2013. Today, March 28, 2014 the problem returned again. Since this occurs unexpectedly while driving in the rain, it seems to represent a serious safety issue. I think Toyota needs to examine this problem.
