Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING MY NEW 2001 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER AT SPEEDS OF 50 MPH OR MORE AND IF YOU ROLL DOWN ONE OF THE REAR WINDOWS OR BOTH OF THE REAR WINDOWS THE AIR PRESSURE VIOLENTLY THUMPS YOUR EAR DRUMS AND BODY - SO BAD IT'S LIKE A HELICOPTER IS RIGHT NEXT TO YOU. THE TRUCK SHAKES SO HARD IT MAKES YOU ILL. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS FLAW WAS NOT CATCHED IN THE DESIGN. THIS IS SO SEVERE I'M WORRIED THAT IF MY CHILD WAS IN THE TRUCK WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN THAT IS WOULD CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE. THIS IS A MAJOR, MAJOR DESIGN FLAW.... YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW BAD IT IS UNLESS YOU EXPERIENCE IT YOURSELF.*AK
