Consumer Description

UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN. AS NOTED IN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS THIS VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY NON-DRIVABLE WITH WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN. THIS FACT IS NEVER MENTIONED TO ANY CUSTOMERS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. I FEEL THAT IF ANYONE BUYING A VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 30K SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO ANY SUCH DESIGN FLAW. EVEN WHEN ASKING THE DEALER, LATER ON, THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM. TOYOTA NEEDS TO CAREFULLY LOOK INTO THIS AS WITH WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN ON FREEWAY SPEEDS, IT CREATES ALMOST A LOW PRESSURE ENV WITHIN THE VEHICLE WITH EAR-ACHES FOR ALL PASSENGERS.*AK
