I was driving 50 mph on 28 e in pineville, louisiana when I heard what sound like a gunshot. I pulled over and realized my sunroof exploded.
The rear cross traffic avoidance does not detect a person on a bicycle or motorcycle. The safety sense 2. 5 + was advertised and demoed to detect even a pedestrian walking behind the vehicle. The system on my vehicle does not work as advertised and after taking my vehicle to the dealer was informed by the service manager that the system is "intermittent at best". This is not what Toyota advertises. Dealerships apparently have no signal strength detection equipment to verify proper operation of this system. I have reviewed multiple videos of this system in operation and there were no indications of intermittent failures. I have contacted Toyota customer support and am being ignored.
