Your moonroof suddenly shattered while you were driving on the freeway, with tempered glass falling into the cabin. This is a serious safety concern, especially since you transport children in the vehicle. The dealership should inspect and replace the moonroof panel, which may be covered under warranty.

While driving at 35 mph, you heard a loud gunshot-like sound from your vehicle. When your wife opened the sunroof cover, you discovered the sunroof had shattered into pieces with no warning light. This happened at approximately 16,000 miles and hasn't been diagnosed or repaired. The sunroof glass may need complete replacement, and the frame should be inspected for damage.

Your windshield has visible waves and distortions in the glass that affect your line of sight, causing dizziness and difficulty while driving. You've had the windshield replaced three times with Toyota OEM glass, but the problem persists each time. The distortion is particularly bad around the edges and in your direct field of vision. Resolving this will likely require Toyota to source windshield glass from a different manufacturer or batch, or to work with their glass supplier to address the quality control issue.

Your windshield developed a visible chip and crack while driving on normal paved roads without any obvious impact from rocks or hail. You've noticed the windshield seems more fragile than similar vehicles you've owned previously. The windshield may need to be replaced or repaired depending on the damage severity.
