I was driving on the freeway and my hood flew up against my windshield. I had to pull off the freeway and my hood is severely damaged because of this. It cracked my windshield and could have caused major accidents.
When the car had about 37,000 miles I started hearing a rattle coming from the back of the car. The car now has 50,000 + miles and I hear the rattle all the time. I searched every online forum regarding rattles coming from the bumper with no findings. In conversation with a Toyota service rep, he told be it could be the roof brace at the b pillar. I further investigated the problem on line and saw several reports where the 2008 through 2009 does have a problem with the left side roof brace at the b pillar not being welded to the frame. I removed enough interior parts to confirm the roof brace is not welded to the structure on the left side. Is seems the roof support not being welded would weaken the crash resistance in a side impact. I also noted several complaint of stress cracked sindshields which may be related to a loose b pillar roof brace.
