1 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 07/30/2018

"takata recall" while driving back home while I was driving on the 5 south freeway heading back to los angeles from newhall CA, the warning, the abs, the cruise control and the tracking control lights lid on my dashboard all at the same time, scare me since I was driving with my children I did not know if my car would all of sudden turn off , but once I got home I park and return back to check it 30 minutes later turn the car on and the lights where still there I turn the car back off and this morning they where no longer there I called the dealer but they said they cant no longer do anything but do the 5 point check since the lights are not there for them to see what is wrong the car or why the lights lid in the dashborad.

2 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2018

As I was driving on the freeway I heard a loud bang there were no vehicles around me at the time and nothing had hit my vehicle, I then heard falling glass pieces and wind and realized my sunroof had been shattered. Upon inspection it was evident that the sunroof had exploded as it was pushed outward and cracked from one side to the other in multiple areas.

3 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 10/11/2017

Windshield replaced after a crack. Windshield company and Toyota dealer could not recalibrate front camera. Lane warning system and frontal collision avoidance systems not working. Driving with warning lights on dash. Windshield mounted camera safety systems is a bad idea. The need for windshield replacement may occur to anyone. It should not be this complicated to recalibrate the camera. So now I have an expensive vehicle that is supposed to be keep me safe- except that the safety systems are not working.
