What owners wrote

Sunroof shattered while driving. The sunroof was in the open position with windows up. Smooth, paved road with no vehicles in front or behind that could have kicked up road debris. While examining the shattered sunroof, no marks were noticed that would indicate the sunroof being struck by a foreign object. The wind deflector shows no signs of any type of damage. Both the driver and 6-year old passenger received minor scrapes and cuts due to glass falling into the interior of the vehicle.

The 2005 and 2006 scion tc were recalled for a defect in the wind deflector where a piece of debris hit the wind deflector at highway speeds and it would shatter. I just bought a 2007 scion tc last tuesday and it did the same exact thing. I was on the freeway and I did not even see anything hit my car but I heard something, and then there was glass coming into my car through the sunroof. I have contacted scion and they had said my car is not included in the recall and to take it into the dealership.
