Right after parking my 2022 Toyota Sienna XLE, I heard a VERY LOUD boom from overhead. It sounded like an explosion. Upon getting out of the car to see if something hit the car, I noticed the glass of the sunroof had a shattered pattern (but none of the glass actually came apart). My and my family's safety is at risk because at any moment, glass could shatter and enter the car. Fortunately, my moonroof cover is closed. Other people are at risk because if glass breaks off while I'm driving, it could hit other cars or pedestrians. I am writing this within 30 minutes of the explosion and have not taken it to a dealer, independent service center, nor has it been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to this incident.

The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at 65 MPH, a loud sound was heard. Upon inspection, the contact noticed that the sunroof had exploded; however, the sunroof panel was closed, and no glass entered the interior of the vehicle. There was no impact on the sunroof that could have caused the explosion. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the dealer referred the contact to take the vehicle to Vantage Mobility International (VMI, 5202 S 28th Pl, Phoenix, AZ 85040) due to the wheelchair van conversion. The vehicle was taken to VMI, where it was determined that a small impact caused the sunroof to explode, and the sunroof needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 750.

We just recently purchased 2022 Toyota Sienna XLE with REAR SEAT ENTERTAINMENT package which is a 11.6-in. display. We did not use this display until yesterday when my daughter wanted to watch something. After she opened the screen to watch, I realized that this display screen covered/block the rear-view mirror view 100% and can't see anything. Before I tried to tell that she needs to close it, I had just a near-miss where I could have colloid to car in backend. This is a huge safety risk due to poor design of covering 100% rear view by this REAR SEAT ENTERTAINMENT screen. There was no car available to test drive at nearest dealer where I would have catch this. If I would know this safety issue, I did not have purchase this car with REAR SEAT ENTERTAINMENT package. Higher Trim has the "digital rearview mirror" option that could have alleviate this issue, but they don't even give that option to select as optional package on XLE trim with XLE plus and REAR SEAT ENTERTAINMENT package. I paid ~$4,000 for XLE plus and REAR SEAT ENTERTAINMENT package and it does include the "digital rearview mirror". This is a huge safety issue in point view and requesting NHTSA to take an action on it. I just googled it and found others complain for this hazards concern.

Driver and passenger front window have obstructed visibility, when wearuling polarized glasses. This might be no issue for sunglasses but with regular glasses, it could impact safety. In an irregular pattern clouds of low visibility are spread across these windows. Normal sight without my or my wife's sunglasses is not impaired. It was observed in full sun while being in clouds I didn't try it.

When using polarized sunglasses, visibility of the driver and passenger front windows gets obstructed (standard windows, no modification) . This means, that these windows are partly intransperant. In an irregular pattern clouds seem to be dispersed all over them. In total maybe one third or up to 50 percent of the window seems to be way less transparent, only while wearing polarized glasses. Without glasses there is no impaired visibility at all.

The car does not have DIGITAL REAR VIEW which uses built-in camera installed at bottom of back to display what is behind the car. Because of this whenever ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM DISPLAY (DVD PLAYER) is pulled for use or CARGO is fully loaded; REAR VIEW MIRROR does not show anything and driver remains unaware what is coming behind the car or what is going on behind the car. I had incident in first couple of usage it self that I was not able to see emergency vehicle & was not able to give a way. Additionally, it could be difficult to understand behaviour of other cars behind coming. I have purchased this car paying lots of money and others could have do so thinking lots of safety features for family usage purpose. Unavailability of rear-view mirror display when there is obstructing entertainment system and cargo, will completly put all passengers at risk. I have paid more than MSRP for this car as I was in deep need of car. Dealer did not give any detail on this issue and when drove car multiple time then only experienced. Raised everything to TOYOTA by calling their number given in the car manual. No one picks up. Submitted online complaint (Reference#220311002236) but not getting any helpful response. They are just saying someone will call from nearest toyota dealership or reachout directly. When no call came, went to dealer who says reachout to TOYOTA directly! Its going in circle. Also reached out to DEALER from where it is purchased, they are too not responding. This is to be taken seriously. I am going thourgh lots of harrassment by dealer/toyota after paying this much for the car and should be compensated accordingly. NHTSA should help me getting DIGITAL REAR VIEW CAMERA installed in this vehicle and have TOYOTA to install same in all other similar configured TOYOTA SIENA vehicle. As an alert citizen and driver, I am raising this and can provide more details if needed but need all help to fix on this car. Rest everyting is fine in the car. Thanks.
