Brooke, what State are you in, if you don't mind me asking?

Default 2012 Scion tC Sunroof burst..

I have a 2012 Scion tC, perfect condition until this last Thursday morning. I was commuting to work, windows up, A/C is off, sunroof and visor closed, I was only a few minutes into my drive when I heard what sounded like a shotgun go off next to my face.
This was followed by the sound of exploding glass and then huge gust of wind. I clearly new a window had broken so I pulled over. After stepping out of the vehicle I realized that the window broke from the inside outward and you can tell by the pictures
it exploded outward.

After doing only 30 seconds of research I found numerous cases of the exact same scenario and description. Toyota is denying that they have a problem but I wont settle for that being the case. I am gathering evidence now of tC drivers this has happened to,
because I want to make sure this issue is fixed before it happens again to myself or someone else and causes injury or an accident.

Default 2011 tC shattered/exploded

The same thing happened to my car on the interstate on my way to class just the other morning. I'm having a hard time finding someone to replace it. I don't have a good relationship with my closest dealership which is another story in itself... How did everything turn out for you guys?

Sorry to hear that it happened to you as well. The dealership wouldnt replace it, Toyota warranty said its not covered and dont believe me despite all the evidence I gave them and Toyota corporate has claimed it was from "outside sources" despite the very very clear evidence that her hypothesis is physically impossible. They also dont care to see photos of the incident...they told me "Toyota does not feel that this is an issue". Im now taking my case further and have taken to social media. Good luck and if your case is as unfortunate as mine, please follow up and possibly we can help one another build a case.

I was driving my 2014 Monogram tC this morning and the front glass busted. I was on the interstate and it sounded like a gun shot and the sound of glass going everywhere. When I got to work an hour later, i saw my glass busted.
I am going to take my car to the dealership in the morning and see what they will do.

This is crap people! I own a 2014 tC and this happened to me a couple of months ago. I have since kept it parked in the garage. When it happened my entire family was in the car. The sound was that of a gunshot, so much so, I reached back to wake my children up to make sure they were not shot.
