earlier today i was driving on the highway, when my sunroof started falling apart .
i looked online to find more info but nothing was to be found about 2008 tC.
but 05 and 06 tCs were recalled on this same issue.
the same thing happened to my 2008 tc.

and i wanted to know if anyone else dealt with this problem?

please reply back.

my dealer ship doesnt want to pay for my damage because they assume a rock hit it,
causing it to break.

ill put pictures up later.

 

You said it fell aprt? Then said it broke? What exactly happened? Did it shatter?

 

basically it shatter. lol sorry i was doing 10 thing at once.
i was reading on here that the same thing happened to older cars.
but i thought the new 08 tc were fixed. :[

details:
the edges are gone/tiny pieces. and the middle part of the glass is still in one piece but with lots of cracks.

here are pictures for a better look :D

Holy cow!!!

 

YIKES!

 

yeah thats def not your problem. bring it up with scion directly and they'll take care of it. dealerships not honoring warranties are gheeyyyyy

 

^ i agree.....i work for a dealer so i will admit service will try and say that its not covered due to whatever......basically they will BS you so call Toyota/Scion and see what happens

BTW.....Good Luck!

 

thats not the part that was recalled on scions, wind deflector is. (little front piece that tilts up)

 

i did take it in. and he basically brushed me off.
then i was like hell no.
and i told him that my own money isnt fixing this, if they cant then ill take it somewhere else.
but honestly i think they only brushed me off because im a young asian female. >:[

i hope im not the only 08 tc out there with this!!

 

shouldn't matter the dealer should definitely honor this.

 

Call Scion directly.

 

^ for real.....i would have been on the phone at the dealership if they gave me bull

 

i did. the person i spoke to told me if they cant prove that a rock hit it, then they shouldnt have pushed me out of the way. and that someone will call me within 48 hours.
but since the car isnt under my name, my brother thinks that i should take my father with me - since im going back tomorrow to cuss them out.

so ____ed!

 

They think a rock did that?

 

Also, why is your deflector still up when the sunroof is closed?

 

I understand you bieng angry I really do. However with that said I wouldn't go in with the mouth a blazing. Honestly I would go to a different dealer and file a grievance against the original one. The originating dealership just did more damage to themselves then they thought. First, it's already all over this forum. Second, Iam pretty sure you will tell everyone you know about your experience there. Maintain your composure and class and work directly with Scion to cure your situation.

I wish you the best of luck and keep us posted.

 

not another April fools joke.....



jk



is there any proof that a rock actually hit it.

 

yea. =.=
they said that since i was on the high way going at a high speed, that a rock can hit it and cause it to shatter. but the thing that didnt make sense to me was that the glass is being bent away from the car. which makes it seem like the impact is coming from inside and not outside. cause if a rock falls on my car and hits it, it should make a hole/bump going downward.

i told them that but they were basically speechless, and said it cost me 875 to fix.... total bs.

 

Exactly! As I waslooking at the pics you can see where the stress finally blewout the glass in the center. Also, when looking at the pics you can see that this was from roof flex popping the roof. See the edges how the have totally shattered? that's where the glass had the least amount of flex. In the center you can see where it was allowed to bow before giving out. It is CLEARLY not from a rock.

 

andrew: oh im not gonna go in there and bite there heads off. what i said was kinda a figure of speech. i will most likely get it fixed at another dealer ship, but i still want to file a compliant cause that dont fly.
