| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving with the sun roof open, the front deflector of the assembly shattered, spraying pieces of broken glass into the passenger compartment, causing me to lose control of the vehicle as i was hit in the face and head by glass. i was able to maintain control of the car as a piece of glass hit my sunglass lens, saving me from a possible eye injury. the interior of the car was littered with sharp, jagged pieces of glass and thankfully i was alone in the vehicle, saving a passenger from possible injury. i have yet to contact a dealer or scion but will do so after the weekend. i am aware of other reports and complaints with regard to the same thing happing to others. scion obviously engineered a fragile piece of glass designed to stand nearly perpendicular to the road with the vehicle in motion and sun roof open. i have recently noticed a popping sound coming from the roof indicating to me some sort of stress in the structure. while not injured during the incident, i did get cut cleaning the sharp glass from the interior of the car. the vehicle i am reporting is a 2005 scin tc. i might also note that the 888 phone number listed on this page is not operable.*ak |
