VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
We were driving down the highway and there was a startling loud explosion and I pulled the vehicle to the side of the road for inspection. I discovered that the rear panoramic sunroof had completely shattered, with no obvious cause. There were no other vehicles around. It was sunny and 90 degree F ambient air temperature outside. The air conditioner was running at the time. Fortunately the headliner screen was closed, otherwise the rear passengers may have been showered with broken glass.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The engine seized up with 25,000 miles on it, on May 25th, 2025. I was not listed as under the engine recall, so they did a "Short Block" rebuild under warranty. I feel like this is insufficient and my vehicle should be under the recall for an entire new engine. My safety was put at risk because the vehicle shut down out of nowhere on a busy highway with narrow shoulders. I had to wait on the side of the road until a tow truck could get to me. Dealer confirmed it was seized up and ordered the short block replacement. No warning at all before the engine seized up.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
The vehicle inconsistently delays when accelerating from a stopped position. This is more frequently noticed shortly after starting the vehicle. This was first noticed around 10K miles, and my vehicle is currently at 25,235 miles. This has happened approximately 4-5 times. While at a stop sign, judging traffic to enter into the intersection I have pushed the gas with no response for 2-3 seconds then a sudden burst of power. Having worked as a state LEO/Trooper for over 25 years I find this very concerning. Any delay in acceleration for power could result in a collision.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
While on vacation, approximately 400 miles from home, the engine dash light came on. The truck seem to be running fine but I did notice a different smell coming from the exhaust. I was able to return home and took it to the dealership as soon as possible. The dealership, Stephen Wade Toyota, contacted me and said that my driver side Cadillac converter had gone bad. They had no explanation of why it went out, but I would need a new one at $2,143.15. I asked if the Cadillac converter was covered under any type of warranty and the dealership informed me that in Utah it expired at 35,000 miles. Truck has 66,000 miles and regular maintenance has been performed on the vehicle. It seems extremely premature that a 2 year old vehicle with 65,000 miles would be experiencing a Cadillac converter failure.

TIRES
Potential Consequences:
P265/60/R20. All wheels are worn severely on outer wheels. One wheel is so severely worn on outer edge it’s into the secondary rubber and I was told it wasn’t safe to drive… Dealership said that it wasn’t safe to drive long distances that it could blow apart… as of know no one had admitted fault and they expect me to cover costs. Truck is 2023 with 19,500 miles on it. Pictures show the worst tire but all of the tires are wearing the same with the outer edge worn severely.
