Corolla

Adult son was driving car on freeway when sunroof/moonroof just blew off. Hit two cars causing windshield and minor body scratching. Brought car into Toyota dealership that next week. Was told 1) sunroof was an after market add on, 2) glue holding sunroof to frame had let go and 3) not a Toyota problem. Contacted original dealership where car purchased new. Was told they would not help as sunroof was aftermarket and there was no existing warranty. I bought the car new and paid Toyota. Car came with the sunroof which Toyota dealership had contracted out for installation. Was given the name of the installer and they readily agreed to pay for the re-installation of a new sunroof.

While driving down the at 50 mph on smooth road there was a hissing coming from the sun roof. The glass from the sun roof flew off, and the consumer saw the glass behind the car in the rearview mirror.T he sun roof was closed at the time when it flew off. The glass came off in one piece and then broke on the ground. Then, the owner pulled over and looked at the sun roof. He took the car home, then to the car to dealer. The consumer was unsure what caused it, and the dealership hasn't told the consumer the cause of the failure. The dealership will replace the sun roof. The consumer has not had other problems with car but was upset with dealership for charging for a rental car.
