Your sunroof unexpectedly opened by itself while you were driving at 60 mph. The dealer determined the sunroof assembly needs to be replaced. This is a safety concern since an open sunroof at highway speed can affect visibility and vehicle control. The fix will require replacing the entire sunroof unit.

Your rear windshield has developed air bubbles or spaces, some as large as a dime, forming where the tinted section meets the clear glass. These bubbles are blocking your view when you use the rear-view mirror. The dealership that sold your vehicle is no longer in business, so you weren't able to get it repaired. The fix would likely involve replacing the rear windshield.

Wiper speed on high is to slow to see in moderate rain. Zero Visibility, make for a very dangerous situation.

I have replaced my windshield 4 times in a 16 month period. Every time I replace it something very small like a pebble or a big bug hits it and it cracks extremely easy. Once I was cleaning my windshield and lifted the wiper up about 3" and then when I was through I just let it go and it cracked the windshield. I have owned several vehicles and I have never seen a windshield so brittle. Out of the 16 months of owning this car I have only driven it with a non cracked windshield for about 30 days.

I was driving down the road and heard a loud explosion. It sounded like it came from the moonroof. I opened the sunshade and saw that the entire front section of the panaramic moonroof had exploded for no apparent reason. 48°F, overcast, no bridges, no trees, no vehicles in front of me, no flying debris. Car is 6 months old and has 6500 miles on it. I went to the nearest auto store and bought duct tape to secure the remaining glass and then drove to the nearest Toyota dealer.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD GUNSHOT SOUND AND ALL THE SUDDEN GLASS RAINED DOWN ON ME AND INTO MY CAR. MY SUNROOF EXPLODED OUT OF NOWHERE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO WRECK BECAUSE I SHUT MY EYES AND SWERVED. ALSO, THANK GOODNESS MY DAUGHTER WASN'T IN THE BACK SEAT OR SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED.

THE SUN VISOR ON THE 2020 CAMRY XLE IS NOT DEEP ENOUGH AND DOES NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION FROM BLINDING SUNLIGHT, WHETHER THE VISOR IS DOWN IN FRONT OF ME, OR TO THE SIDE WINDOW - A DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, AND HAVE BEEN A TOYOTA CUSTOMER FOR OVER 35 YEARS.
