3 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 07/30/2018

While driving to work this morning in my rav 4, I heard an incredibly loud boom that startled me. It sounded as though someone had fired a gun just outside my car. I then felt some glass showering down on me. I quickly looked around to see if someone had thrown a rock through a window or shot at my car, but all windows were intact. I then looked up and saw that my sunroof was shattered and most of the glass was gone. Looking in front of my car, there weren't any trucks from which rocks might've fallen. And looking behind me, I hadn't driven under any bridges from which something might've fallen or been thrown. I pulled off at the next exit to see what might've caused the sunroof to shatter. There was nothing to be found in my car to explain it (no rocks or other objects that might've fallen into the car). I then noticed something strange - the glass that remained on the sunroof was bending upward (away from the car) as though something inside the car caused the glass to shatter. Here's a video I recorded showing the remaining glass: https://youtu. Be/nze6nt829tm it was a scary experience. I'm glad I wasn't hurt, and I thank g-d that my kids weren't in the back seat when this happened.

Construction on 59/20 broken windshield.

5 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 04/07/2016

Remedy for this problem has not been forthcoming in a timely manner. What's the point of alerting owners that they have a problem that needs immediate attention only to have no corresponding solution available from the manufacturer? there should be a deadline for this sort of thing.

6 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2015

Why are the wipers and windshield so bad, I can see better in the rain with the wipers off. There is no dirt on my windshield or dead bugs, I cleaned the windshield in my garage and then drove in the rain to prove a point. When the wipers are on it is very hard to see because of the bluring on the windshield it is clearer just looking through the rain.

7 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 05/08/2014

When vehicle is started and put into reverse the backup camera is dim and unviewable for 15 sec. Backing up during this period is obviously hazardous and it is very annoying to have to wait until it becomes visible. This is related to the whole display console as the radio, nav system, and bu camera all come on after 15 sec. This does not happen on my wife's 2007 prius although occasionally it does not switch to the bu camera at all.
