UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED ON MY 2015 CAMRY HYBRID. I WAS ENTERING THE 101 FREEWAY IN PASO ROBLES, CA, TRAVELING SOUTH INTO VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC (1:30 P.M.). APPROX. 3/4 OF A MILE LATER INTO MY FREEWAY TRANSITION THERE WAS A EXPLOSION-LIKE SOUND. MY INITIAL RESPONSE WAS TO LOOK OUT MY BACK WINDOW, WHERE I NOTICED DARK-COLORED GLASS WAS FLYING AWAY FROM THE CAR. A FREEWAY OVERPASS WAS NOT IN PLAY, I WAS TRAVELING A FULL LANE AWAY FROM THE NORTH BOUND CENTER DIVIDER, AND THE AREA TO THE IMMEDIATE RIGHT OF MY CAR WAS A GRASSY AREA. MY CAR WAS NOT HIT BY A FOREIGN OBJECT; STONE, BOLT, ETC., AS THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. UPON TAKING MY CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT IT COULD HAVE ONLY BEEN CAUSED BY AN FLYING OBJECT LIKE A STONE. HOWEVER, AS I SEARCHED THE INTERNET, I BECAME AWARE THATEXPLODING /SHATTERING SUNROOFS HAS NOT BEEN A OCCASIONAL HAPPENING, AS HUNDREDS OF TESTIMONIES ON THE INTERNET INDICATE OTHERWISE.MOST ALL AUTO MANUFACTURERS ARE INVOLVED. NBC-TV NEW YORK, ON FEBRUARY 24, 2015 DID A NEWS PIECE ON THIS VERY SUBJECT. I WOULD STRONGLY ENCOURAGE THE NHTSA TO THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE THIS IMPORTANT MATTER.

SERVICE BRAKES
I PULLED UP TO A FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU AND APPLIED MY BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND IN DESPERATION I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK ONLY TO HEAR 5-6 LOUD CLICKS AS I BUMPED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS WAS A 1 OR 2 MPH COLLISION RESULTING IN VERY LITTLE DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. HOWEVER, THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THIS NEW CAMRY WITH 7200 MILES ON IT. THE FIRST TIME WAS WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY TWO MONTHS AGO. THIS TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I BACKED OVER A CEMENT RETAINING WALL IN MY NEIGHBOR'S YARD. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO PULL ME OUT BECAUSE THE REAR WHEELS WERE HANGING IN MID AIR AND IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET ENOUGH TRACTION TO GET MY CAR RIGHTED UP. THE OTHER TIME WAS ANOTHER LOW SPEED EVENT AT ANOTHER DRIVE THROUGH. NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME AND ALL WAS OKAY . I FILED A CASE WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE WILL NOT PAY FOR TOWING OR RENTAL AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT RETURNED ANY OF MY PHONE CALLS

I WAS TOLD TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT NOT ENOUGH CARS TO DO A RECALL. THEY ONLY POSTED A BULLETIN FOR THEM . I CAN'T BELIEVE MY LIFE WAS IN THEIR HANDS AND WAS NEVER TOLD BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE HAVING AN ISSUE. THEY REPLACE THE PART BUT NOW I FEEL UNSAFE IN A NEW CAR...
