VEHICLE HAS 18K MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I DROVE FROM WORK TO GROCERY STORE. AFTER LEAVING THE STORE I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE ABS WARNING CAME ON THEN CHECK ELECTRICAL CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THEN I COULDN'T GET IT IN GEAR AGAIN. I EXITED THE VEHICLE TO WAVE THE CARS BEHIND ME TO GO AROUND BECAUSE THE FLASHERS DIDN'T WORK. AFTER I GOT ALL THE OTHER CARS PAST ME, I CALLED MY HUSBAND TO COME AND GET ME. HE SUGGESTED THAT I TRY RESTARTING THE CAR AGAIN, WITH MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. THIS TIME, IT STARTED AND I MOVED IT TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. THE NEXT DAY, IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER KEPT IT OVERNIGHT TO RUN MORE TESTS, BUT THEY SAID THAT NO FAILURE WAS INDICATED. MY HUSBAND GOT THE CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHTS TO COME ON, AND HE VERIFIED THIS WITH THE DEALER. THE LEASE IS UP IN IN 4 MONTHS, BUT I WON'T DRIVE IT AGAIN. TOYOTA CORPORATE WAS NO HELP, SAYING NO ERROR MESSAGE ON COMPUTER MEANS CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. GOD HELP THE NEXT PERSON WHO BUYS THIS CAR.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE IS 1-1/2 YEARS OLD. THE OUTSIDE WEATHER WAS ABOUT 50 DEGREES AND I HAD THE HEAT ON. NOT SURE IF THE INSIDE/OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES CAUSED THIS, OR IF THE BODY HAD SETTLED OR CHANGED IN SOME WAY TO CREATE PRESSURE ON THE GLASS.
