The front grill has enlarged holes and a rock was able to penetrate the grill and hit the condenser. It broke the condenser causing a very expensive repair. I made a comprehensive claim with my insurance and they agreed that was the cause of the damage. The grill does not provide sufficient protection for the parts inside. I had no warning lamps go off, the Air conditioner simply stopped working a few days later.

On XXX, at about 2:00 PM we were driving south on I95 somewhere in [XXX] when we heard a very loud noise. Thinking it was a rock hitting the windshield we looked but could see no cracks or chips so we kept driving on our trip to [XXX]. The next day it was windy and we thought it was unusually noisy inside the vehicle but we just thought it was the wind. After driving around in [XXX] we said it was unusually noisy inside so I said I would stand on the door sill to look at the roof and that’s when I saw the hole in the sunroof. That night, Sunday, XXX, I called our insurance company to report the damage. They said that an adjuster would contact us on Monday. Meanwhile I started to “Google” issues with sunroofs and there I found out about imploding glass sunroofs. On Monday, XXX, I went to the Toyota service in [XXX].and had them look at the damaged sunroof. The service advisor mentioned he had never seen this damage. He said they could replace it but would have ordered parts which could take a couple days. I said to go ahead as we were only here until Saturday. That day, Monday XXX I called the insurance company to update them. I also stopped at the Toyota dealer to talk with them. I mentioned the “Google” reports about sunroof issues. The advisor said there were no recalls or anything from Toyota on this. He did say that an insurance adjuster had contacted him and said they were very busy but would try to get there to look at the vehicle on Tuesday. We are thankful we did not have the sunroof cover open as we would have had glass all over inside the vehicle.

Incident occurred on XXX at 9:46AM PST, [XXX]. When applying brakes normally to come to a gradual stop behind another vehicle stopped at a stop sign on a slight decline, PCS collision warning lights enabled and vehicle lurched forward while my foot was on brake. This is not to be confused with automatic braking behavior as front collision warning lights in driver information center flashed red. Rather, vehicle lurched forward as if accelerating once within feet of vehicle in front. Then, vehicle rocked front to back multiple times with my foot still on the brake, as if Drive and Reverse was being quickly and intermittently engaged back and forth about 1 second apart. Had my foot not been firmly on the brake, the vehicle felt like it would travel forward and then back (colliding with vehicle in front and in back) without driver inputs. While car continued to lurch forward and then back, I shifted transmission into Park then back in Drive, and behavior stopped. There was a loud clunk as the car engaged in Drive. This has occurred 3 times over the past 2.5 years. What is even more curious, is that this occurred all 3 times at the same stop sign, which is at a slight decline. This leads me to deduce that somehow the angle of decline or other specific condition at this stop sign is somehow contributing or confusing vehicle systems, as bizarre as this sounds. AC was on during at least one preceding event but not during yesterday's event. Others have observed similar events on on-line forums, but I don't know if they have reported this given how infrequently it occurs. Vehicle has 28000+ miles, and I stop at this exact location at least 3 times per week, with behavior observed only 3 times. Statistically, it seems probable that there must be some element (angle of decline?) at this location that somehow confuses vehicle systems, triggering this dangerous unintended acceleration and reversing behavior.

Dear NHTSA Vehicle Safety Team, I am writing to report a serious steering system issue to my 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid and to request that NHTSA review this incident for potential safety concerns affecting other owners of the same vehicle model. Vehicle Information - Make and Model: 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid - VIN: [XXX] - Mileage at the time of the issue: Approximately 66,000 miles - Component involved: Steering rack/rack-and-pinion assembly Sequence of Events 1. Steering System Failure At 65,000 miles, i started having minor issues with the steering system, but was driving fine. At 85,000 miles i had the vehicle examined at Toyota, (cause steering rack just stuck) informed me the steering rack needed to be replaced, (repair cost 3300$). 2. Vehicle Maintenance History I have maintained my vehicle in a timely manner. at always 5000 miles, during my communication with Toyota's Brand Engagement Center, they acknowledged that my maintenance history was satisfactory. 3. Previous Accident and Service Documentation I contacted Toyota's Brand Engagement Center and requested goodwill assistance with the repair because of the nature of the failure, the vehicle's mileage, and its maintenance history. Toyota ultimately declined to participate in the repair, citing the prior accident. I also requested a written explanation , but denied my request for goodwill assistance, citing the vehicle's involvement in an accident, minor rear end to my rear door and bumper, not my fault. My service documentation dated XXX, (2 months prior the accident) contains a reference to the rack-and-pinion boot and a listed amount of $54.26, this service entry and the eventual steering rack failure to be properly examined. I am not claiming that the accident or the rack-and-pinion boot necessarily caused the failure. I just found out that my model vehicle had a steering wheel recall but 2026 model, maybe has the same issues.
