 Description of the problemWhile driving on the freeway in our brand new 2020 toyota rav4 hybrid with only 5,000 miles, all of a sudden the sunroof exploded above us -- shattering glass fragments upwards and outwards. Of course, some minor fragments landed upon my wife and i -- but for the most part the glass shot upwards and away. It was as though someone had fired off a loud shotgun inside the car. After regaining control of the car and seeing the sunroof completely shattered i looked back and noticed that there were no overpasses around for someone to drop a rock and only a handful of other vehicles traveling to the right of us going in the same direction. We googled the closest toyota dealership and drove 5 miles to john elways crown toyota. The service advisor who looked at the car just shook his head. When asked if anything like that has happened before -- he replied, "no." i then left the car with the dealership since the incident happened on a late afternoon saturday and rented a rental car from them. The service dept. Finally contacted me on tuesday afternoon to inform me that the sunroof was not covered by the warranty -- and that i would need to pay them $1,700 to have it repaired by the dealership. This is a definite "quality control" issue of toyota's -- and from my own research have found numerous other customers having the same sunroof explosion issues occur. By no means should this product design failure and glass safety issue be ignored or should ever happen. It's outright dangerous. After more than a week of endless conversations, providing images, etc. With the customer service folks at john elway's dealership and toyota headquarters (plano, tx) they refused to honor the warranty repairs -- and ultimately left me holding the bag to replace the obviously defective window myself. This is a 2020 rav4 -- only two months old. Again, this shouldn't happen.
