2013 TOYOTA VENZA Complaints

DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATION PEDAL HAS NO EFFECT ON ENGINE SPEED FOR UP TO 3 OR MORE SECONDS. THIS SITUATION HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY TWELVE TIMES SINCE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN MAY 2013. IT NOW HAS 1200 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. CAR HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS REASON WITHOUT RESULT. THE LAST DEALER VISIT IN SEPTEMBER 2013, I WAS ADVISED THE "DRIVE BY WIRE" SYSTEM WAS OPERATING TO SPECIFICATION AND THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM PRESENTLY. FURTHER, IT IS A PROBLEM COMMON TO THE VENZA MODEL AS WELL AS CERTAIN OTHER TOYOTA MODELS. *TR

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE WITH MOON ROOF/SUN ROOF OPEN, THE MOON ROOF/SUN ROOF SHATTERED INTO A GAZILLION PIECES. THERE WAS NO SOUND OF A ROCK OR OTHER PROJECTILE HITTING THE MOON ROOF/SUN ROOF. IT JUST RAINED GLASS DOWN ON US WITHOUT WARNING. LUCKILY MY HUSBAND WAS WEARING A BALL CAP THAT PROTECTED HIS EYES, BUT IT COULD HAVE BLINDED SOMEONE AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I CUT STAINED GLASS SO AM FAMILIAR WITH HOW GLASS BREAKS. I BELIEVE THE PANORAMIC MOON ROOF/SUN ROOF IS A DESIGN DEFECT, WHICH RESULTED IN A STRESS FRACTURE. I HAVE PICTURES THAT CLEARLY SHOW BOTH SIDES OF THE MOON/SUN ROOF TORE SIMULTANEOUSLY. ALL THIS FROM AN ALLEGED "ROCK". I DON'T THINK SO. *TR
