Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Toyota highlander: with one rear window rolled down, slightly, there is very painfull noise that is almost unbearable while driving at city speeds (30-45 mph). manf. states that this is common in some vehicles. in this one it is because the vehicle is so tightle sealed there is no place for the air to go thus creating a pressure difference. noticed on 2nd aday after delivery. dealer failed to provide us with info about this problem. in fact they claimed if was the first they had heard about this problem. now after 10 months i was driving on the interstate at 65 mph, with all the windows slighlty down and the problem is worse thanever. this is a desin flaw that toyota has failed to correct. this going to the last toyota our family will purchase!!! carl783@juno.com. *ak
