The moonroof glass shattered unexpectedly with no impact or previous damage while driving on the Highway. The vehicle is only 3 months old has not been involved in any accidents or incidents. If the interior moonroof shade was not closed the glass would have dropped all over the interior potentially harming myself and any other passengers in the vehicle.

Unknown crack on exterior front windshield. The vehicle is nearly a month old and always garage kept. Discovered hairline crack from drivers pillar to halfway towards the rear view mirror.
On May 13th, 2022, I was in my garage and inside the vehicle in park mode, when I suddenly heard a little crack sound coming from the windshield. It was very faint, but I heard it. Then I noticed that it was the windshield and it had a little crack. On May 19, 2022, I took the vehicle to Elmhurst Toyota and they stated that a rock hit the windshield which is false. I am certain that it is a defect of the windshield in the RAV4's. I am not the first person to complain about the faulty windshield on these models and truly believe that is very unsafe. This needs to be investigated as it can cause a car accident if cracked on the highway.
