I was driving on the highway at approximately 65mph with my sunroof in the slightly lifted position only and all other windows closed. Out of nowhere there was a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot and we saw shattered glass from my sunroof flying out first and then shattering down onto myself, my adult passenger, her 1 year old daughter that was in her car seat in the back as well as on our two small dogs. When we pulled over and got out of the car, we had to shake glass from our clothing and hair as well as carefully remove it from our seats and all over everywhere else and then very carefully remove glass from covering the baby and the our dogs in the back seat. We are all lucky we were not injured from the flying glass. We then had to carefully remove the remaining loose chunks of glass from the roof so they wouldn't fall down on us and what remained was just the outer portion of the glass and a giant hole. This was a very scary incident and could have caused serious harm if the sudden noise caused me to swerve into something or another vehicle. Upon reading numerous reports, I have yet to see Toyota step up and make it right, but I intend to fight and get them to recall and fix the Scion sunroofs!
