1 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 04/21/2018

On 4/21/2018, I was driving at 75 mph down a mountain freeway in arizona from 5600 elevation to 2300 ft when my sunroof blew a hole out from the center of the middle lane of glass. The whole pane cracked and began to disintegrate. Thankfully the sunroof and protective cover were closed. At first I thought a rock had somehow caused the break until the tow truck driver pointed out that the edges of the glass were pushing upward indicating the glass blew upwards from the cabin. This is the second time this has happened. The first time was on a city street at 40 mph in colorado at 6000 ft elevation. Toyota no longer makes the Venza. The glass on the sunroof should be made with a protective coating to keep it from coming apart in a thousand pieces.

2 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 07/18/2014

Drivers side sun visor obstructing visibility. The visor appears to have separated, allowing the bracket to shift to outside of the visor. The result leaves the visor hanging straight down.
