3 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 08/10/2009

I was driving to work one day and my 06 Scion Tc wind deflector glass shattered into pieces all over the inside of the vehicle. I immediately pulled over. I later called Toyota and they said they had a recall on the wind deflector for 06 Scion Tc's but it didn't apply to my vehicle. They will not pay to fix the problem. I have even contacted corporate. Researching this, this same exact issue has happened to hundreds of other people.

4 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 05/16/2009

I was driving 65 mph down rt 55 in new jersey. Suddenly I hear glass shattering and glass rains down on my head. The moon roof in my Toyota Scion Tc exploded for no apparent reason. Toyota says its not a defect and they wont fix it. I have to pay 2000 dollars to get it fixed. I don't have this money and glass should not explode for no reason. Not to mention I could have crashed my car and sustained bodily injury.

5 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 03/31/2009

Taking a drive on a sunny day, I had my sunroof open and all of a sudden my husband and I heard a cracking sound. When we got home, we noticed the front part or wind deflector part of sunroof was cracked. Took it to Toyota and they said there must have been a pebble because the glass showed a point of impact. Eard anything hit the window, it just broke. Why is something that is supposed to be a wind deflector made of glass?I never even noticed this piece of glass that pops up and now I feel vulnerable for driving in the future,. Not to mention the almost $500. 00 that it will cost me to fix this Friday. This should be a warranted item or it should be made of a plastic material. I saw many complaints like mine. I believe it shattered from the wind just like the many complaints that I read. I loved my Scion Tc and now I am disenchantment with this car.

6 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 06/16/2008

I was driving home from work in my 2006 Scion Tc at approximately 5:30 pm. Going 60 mph when all of a sudden my rear sunroof window exploded. It sounded like a gun shot and ended up cracking the entire window, sending pieced flying behind me. I had the rear cover closed, so no debris was able to enter the vehicle. I just purchased the vehicle used from a dealership Saturday afternoon and this incident happened Monday afternoon. I took the vehicle back to the dealership and they said that I may have to pay to get it fixed. I do not agree with this, and something needs to be done about this issue since it seems to be occurring to numerous people. Also, I was not driving under an overpass and there was no sign of any object hitting the glass. It just simply shattered.
