2 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 04/17/2010

While driving down the road in my 2007 Toyota Rav4 the left side passanger window imploded causing the back seat to fill with thousands of pieces of glass for no apparent reason.

3 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 11/22/2008

I was driving on a rural interstate (I-16) in georgia when I heard a loud explosion. I initially thought I had a blown tire. I pulled over to find my moon roof had a hole located in the middle of the glass. The rest of the glass was shattered in tiny pieces, but still holding together. I was the only one on the highway and was nowhere near an overpass. When I reached atlanta, I went to marietta Toyota for assistance. The inspector said that the hole was caused by a rock bouncing up off of the highway. I was traveling at a rate of 65 mph. I have a wind deflector at the front of the moonroof. The glass around the hole was pushed up as if pressure had caused the explosion. The scenerio he described would be impossible. The cover was closed on the interior, so thankfully, no one was hurt. Toyota has refused to repair the moon roof. The cost is $585. 00 plus labor.
