DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND COMING TO A STOP SIGN THERE WAS A SUDDEN EXPLOSION...IT SOUNDED LIKE A TIRE EXPLODED BUT LOUDER. I STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN AND GOT OUT OF MY CAR AND WALKED AROUND THE VEHICLE FOR A BUSTED TIRE, BUT THEN I SAW THAT MY SUNROOF WAS CONTINUING TO CRACK...THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. I WALKED TO THE VEHICLE THAT HAD STOPPED BEHIND ME AND ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD SEEN ANYTHING HIT MY CAR AND THEY SAID NO. MY SUNROOF CONTINUED TO SHATTER AS I DROVE HOME. FRIGHTENING SITUATION! TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL THEIR SUNROOFS BECAUSE I'VE SEEN SEVERAL ON THIS SITE AS HAVING EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM.

THE RADIO NAVIGATION SYSTEM JUST TURNS OFF AND RESETS FOR NO APPARENT REASON IT DOES IT ST ANYTIME ANYWHERE ANY SPEED. IT WILL JUST STOP AND RESTART AND IF YOUR USING NAVIGATION YOU LOOSE YOUR DESTINATION, SO YOU HAVE THE INSTINCT TO TRY AND RE INPUT YOUR TRAVEL LOCATION WHICH CAUSES YOU TO NOT WATCH THE ROAD. IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR.

Summary

ON AUGUST 18TH, I WAS DRIVING MY HUSBAND'S 2015 TOYOTA VENZA. I ORDINARILY DO NOT DRIVE IT AS THE VEHICLE HAS A SURGING FORWARD PROBLEM. WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOD OFF THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SURGES FORWARD WHICH ONE CAN COMPENSATE BY QUICKLY HITTING THE BRAKE PEDAL. MY HUSBAND HAS GOTTEN USED TO THE CAR DOING THIS SO IT DOES NOT BOTHER HIM. ON THIS PARTICULAR DAY, I WAS DRIVING ALONG A 2-LANE ROAD ON A SOMEWHAT MAIN ROAD WITH SOME BUSINESSES ON EITHER SIDE AND I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH. WE WERE APPROACHING A POPULAR ICE CREAM PLAZA WHEN I SAW THE VEHICLES UP AHEAD STOPPING AS ONE OF THE CARS WAS WAITING TO CROSS OVER TO THE ICE CREAM SHOP. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR SURGED FORWARD AT A FASTER SPEED. I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND THE BRAKE DID NOTHING SO I PUSHED HARDER ON THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR STILL DID NOTHING AND WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I FINALLY PUSHED AS HARD AS I COULD WITH NO SUCCESS. THEN THE WHEELS LOCKED AND THE CAR SLID FORWARD AND I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. TOYOTA TOOK THE CAR AFTER I COMPLAINED AND EXAMINED IT AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. BUT WHEN WE GOT THE CAR BACK MY HUSBAND WAS DOING AN ERRAND AND APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AND PUT HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW BUT THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. HE LIFTED HIS FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND REAPPLIED AND THE CAR SLOWED AND STOPPED.
