New vehicle, pristine condition. Highway driving, open space, straight line. No trees, cars, trucks, overpasses, etc. In vicinity. Weather overcast, no rain. Without warning, sunroof glass exploded outward. Glass pieces did fall inside, but mostly blew out and back, gouging rear window and causing significant paint damage on trunk. Size of blowout hole approximately 24"x13". Toyota says not their fault, clearly a rock hit it.

39 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/26/2020

Car suddenly accelerates by itself . I apply brakes and it still propels itself. I lose control of the vehicle and feel that I am lucky that I do not hit a pedestrian or another car because the sudden acceleration eventually stops. The car is new with only 900miles . I am scared to death to drive it. Tomorrow I am bringing car back to the dealer for advice. This sudden acceleration has happened twice. Of course this occurs when I am driving at slow speeds.

40 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2020

My 2020 camery /Toyota is built so low it knotted the claps a loose from under the front part of the vehicle. . . Due to how low the vehicle was built any slight unevenness in the road you can hear and feel the front of the car scrape the front end of the car.

41 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/27/2019

Slow acceleration during 1st 1 or 2 gears. Almost had multiple accidents in highway due to slow acceleration when changing lanes. The vehicle does not immediately respond to acceleration when accelerator pedal is used. The vehicle has a couple of seconds delay until it changing into next gear. Dealer non responsive. I brought it into my Toyota dealer and the service technician drove my car with me in the passenger seat. I explained that my previous (3) v6 Toyota Camry's did not have any problems with acceleration, he totally understood. The new 8- speed transmission has different shift settings which explains the acceleration delay and sometimes causes a jerky motion from a dead stop, driving in stop & go traffic or while entering a highway. According to the tech, they have been provided with no fixes for this problem and that the car will "learn" my driving habits the more I drive it.
