Probable first issue found with sunroof

Does this mean sunroofs will leak? crap, I hate going back and complaining.

 

Frederic have you noticed any more things on our Prius that I should mention?

I'm taking mine in tomorrow morning. It has a buzzing sound in the left dash area.

I keep getting all these ridiculous things in the mail from my dealership and Toyota. I wish they would quit spamming me!

 

I am sorry to hear that. It sounds so familiar, because I had those same issues with my 2005 Camry. The dealer said he "reset the computer?" But the moonroof was never the same and the problem kept reoccurring. I finally just quit using it when the roof kept failing to close! (That's why I chose a Three model, with no moonroof. I don't miss it. I hope they can fix yours.) That's weird, Jim. I haven't received one thing in the mail. In fact, not even license plates! It's been 65 days. Is your dash buzzing sound constant? Or only at certain speeds? You might also have them check the left front tire balance (if they don't find a reason in the dash.)

 

The buzz seems to happen at only certain rpms. I notice it during acceleration.

 

I agree. I hate having a dash rattle because they usually have to remove the entire dash and all the electronics... Fortunately, I only had one odd vibration/rattle on the right side, but it quickly went away and I never heard it again. ( I believe the vibration originated in the engine compartment, or tire)

I used the "tilt" feature on my moonroof pretty frequently for extra ventilation. But rarely drove with it fully open because of the noise that came in the cabin. But then the entire thing quit working, so the hell with it.

 

No, but thanks for the info about the sunroof. I have checked mine thoroughly and it seems to be good.

I'm just taking it for 'buzz' noise in the dash. Hopefully they can find it and fix it.

Haha! I just realized why I'm getting so much stuff in the mail -- it's related to both car purchases!

Funny thing is, I've gotten 4 letters from the dealership thanking me for buying the car. Miscellaneous stuff from Toyota.

What I really am interested in is getting is a survey from Toyota.

 

I'll bet you a large pizza that the dealer "can't recreate" the buzz noise.

I need to correct what I said earlier. I do now remember receiving a survey letter in the mail, from Toyota Corporate. It directs you to a website to take the survey....

 

Usually it is something in a tray or glove box. Even had a rear tag do that. My wife and I decided no sun roof this time around as we hope to keep these longer. Do miss the solar fan.

 

And just don't ever use or open the sunroof... and it's all good!

When my Camry moonroof finally drew it's last breath, I wasn't sad. It was a pain in the rear. I owned that car for 11 years, and the moonroof was the only thing that broke.

 

Hi guys, any updates on the moonroof issue? Mine also has the same wind noise issues once closing from the "tilt" opening. If I retract the moonroof and close it that way, it seals appropriately and no wind noise occurs. Dealer acknowledges & is able to replicate the wind noise issue but is waiting for more info from Toyota rep / looking for another 2016-2017 Prius with moonroof to see if the issue replicates on theirs. Any advice greatly appreciated!
