1 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2014

When driving on the highway we heard a loud noise. We pulled over to find our sun/moon roof had blown out. We immediately contacted our insurance company and taped over the hole to avoid any glass blowing out onto other drivers and inside the vehicle. When we took it to Toyota dealership they said they checked for other complaints but said they had none. This was the summer of 2014. Even though the dealership claimed there were no issues, we reported the problem to Toyota directly and after a couple of messages and copies of pictures they decided it was not a defect so we were not going to be reimbursed. The expense was a little of $1000 which we were out of pocket on as we had a $1000 deductible. In light of more recent news about this being a problem in many vehicles including Toyota vehicles we wanted to report it as a safety issue. Had we not had the cover closed on the inside, glass would have come in on us. We were just thankful that no one on the highway was hurt with the window blew out. We believe this item should be reviewed for possible recall and reimbursement to owners of vehicles that have sun/moon roofs made by the manufacturer. I am no longer sure I have pictures as they would have been taken on an old phone.

2 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2013

(Toyota, Sienna 2011) passenger automatic sliding door anti-jam sensor failed. Object (macbook) was placed in door pocket compartment. Door switch was pressed and door began opening. Macbook did not completely clear the doors path completely and door began crushing it. I could hear something wasn't right and saw the door bend the laptop and park in the fully open position. You could clearly see and hear the door had met an obstacle and was struggling, but just pressed through it. Door made no attempt to stop or reverse. The macbook was damaged. The whole machine was bent by the door and I can no longer fit a cd in the optical slot because it is now curved rather than flat. These doors are strong enough be bend metal! the "anti-jam" system failed. After seeing that, I really think that these doors have to capability to seriously inure someone.
