Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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
