1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2018

Both side windows in the front have visible dark and light spots, and patterns. Rear windows have a lot of rippling dark patterns. Patterns can be seen when we look through polarized sunglasses. It is also visible with bare eyes from an angle. What is the standard of the tempered glass on a vehicle ? we think this should not be happened whether or not polarized sunglasses are used when driving. We are not sure if our windows are considered as abnormal or defect at this level (see pictures), the patterns on both sides (front) windows are distracting when it turns dark under the bright sun. Windows in the middle are fine. Besides, we don't have this problem with our other 3 cars at home (2 are different brand) when we used our polarized sunglasses in the past years.

2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/09/2018

I parked my camry and let my wife out of the car. I had left the shift lever in drive and turned off the car. Although the dash warning said for me to shift into park I did not do it that instance. I took my foot off the brake and the vehicle started moving with the engine off. There was no incline or hill. I tried this several times, and even with the vehicle in reverse, engine off, foot off the brake, the vehcile started moving in reverse, even starting to gain speed. My wife has my old 2015 Camry Hybrid and tried this experiment. That Toyota did not do what the 2018 did.
