Your sunroof suddenly shattered while you were driving, with glass breaking both on the inside and outside of the roof. The loud explosion-like sound startled you, and broken glass fell into the cabin, causing cuts and making you unsafe to continue driving due to concerns about more glass falling and exposure to rain and elements.

Your 4Runner's SOS emergency button has failed to connect properly—you've tried it 4 times across different days and locations but only connected once, and the representative couldn't hear you even then. The system is also draining your battery even when the car is off, defeating its purpose as a safety tool. You're locked into AT&T's cellular service through Toyota's exclusive contract, which may be contributing to the poor performance of this expensive feature.

Your sunroof suddenly shattered while you were driving, creating a large hole in the roof with no apparent cause or impact. You heard a loud bang but nothing had struck the sunroof. The repair will likely involve replacing the entire sunroof panel and checking the frame for any related damage.

Your sunroof suddenly shattered and broke into pieces without any apparent cause like rocks or debris hitting it. The glass was held together with tape to prevent it from collapsing into the cabin, and you're concerned this is a manufacturing defect with the sunroof glass itself. Fixing this will likely require sunroof glass replacement and inspection of the sunroof frame and mounting system.

While driving, a mango fell from a tree and struck your windshield, causing it to break and scatter glass pieces onto the dashboard inside your vehicle. This created a potential safety hazard with loose glass in the cabin.

WHILE I AM DRIVING, I SMELL SOMETHING LIKE EXHAUST OR SULFUR INSIDE CAR. I COULD ONLY SMELL IT WHEN THE CAR IS GOING OVER 70 MILES, RPM IS OVER 2500 (HARD ACCELERATION) , AND WHEN ALL THE WINDOWS ARE CLOSED AND RECIRCULATE CABIN AIR IS ON.
