The contact's son owns a 2026 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while his son was driving 65 mph after the rain had stopped, the turn signals failed to operate, and the windshield wipers failed to turn off. The forward collision avoidance warning light was illuminated. The failure was a recurring failure. The dealer was contacted. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle with steering angle sensor failure. The sensor was replaced and the vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 18,000.
A minor stone chip instantly escalated into a 12-inch crack that ran all the way to the edge of the glass. The factory acoustic glass is structurally weak and brittle, causing minor road debris to immediately result in a massive crack that compromises the glass integrity on the passenger side view.
While driving, the sunroof suddenly exploded without any external cause. The temperature at the time was approximately 42°f. The glass shattered throughout the interior of the vehicle, with pieces falling into my clothing and all over the cabin. I immediately contacted the dealership and was advised to visit the nearest Toyota location; however, there wasn’t one nearby. I had to cover the vehicle with a tarp to continue my 4 hour drive home. Thankfully, I was traveling alone—had my family been with me, including my [xxx] infant, this could have resulted in severe injury, as glass would have fallen directly on the car seat. The dealership later inspected the vehicle and found no evidence of any outside influence or impact that could have caused the explosion. I’m deeply concerned about the safety implications of this failure and would like to understand how Toyota plans to address this situation, as well as ensure this does not pose a continued risk to other drivers.
